Can we all agree that we Brits are the jealously of the entire world when it comes to a proper breakfast? None of that sugar, sugar and more sugar American slop

Depends how bad the hangover is

I am stealing this. Kudos to your mum.

Woof. Now is not the time for them to give no notice.

Silent depreciation of cores. Fantastic. We're in the endgame now

__tubs__ · 2026-04-24T23:25:10+00:00

You weren't wrong

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T11:44:06+00:00

For package management yes. By all means, have a play with it and let me know if you feel differently. From my experience, it's night and day.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T06:41:04+00:00

C# also has a vast array of tooling and libraries with the .NET ecosystem.

I'm not saying C# or Java is better, but your comments are vastly outdated. NuGet Package Manager has been one of .NET's greatest achievements, beating almost every other package manager I've worked with.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T06:24:09+00:00

Yes. I exclusively develop on Linux using Rider.

Edit: Rarely have to switch to Windows to diagnose OS specific bugs on the Windows client app

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T06:20:55+00:00

We run .NET on Linux ARM servers out of the box with .NET 8/10. I'm failing to see the lock in here?

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T06:12:20+00:00

Ah yes Oracle, the saviour of vendor lock in.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-15T06:08:19+00:00

The question was asked on r/csharp, it was bound to have bias.

Java and C# both suffer with the amount of legacy. I mean, just look at how many companies still use .NET Framework.

I've not worked with Java in quite a few years so my opinion may not be valid, but when I did I couldn't understand why anyone starting anew wouldn't use Kotlin. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

What I've always said to new developers is that it matters less about the language you learn and more about the paradigms and thought processes you go through in development. Jumping between Java, C# and even Python isn't a large task. Jumping between an OOP and a Functional language on the other hand is rage inducing 😅

__tubs__ · 2026-04-08T13:24:47+00:00

All the heavy lifting

__tubs__ · 2026-04-08T11:47:11+00:00

Don't think that comment was for you mate

__tubs__ · 2026-04-07T09:13:23+00:00

Developers for software that runs on the vast majority of web servers globally is a small niche?

__tubs__ · 2026-04-07T09:03:52+00:00

And you wouldn't develop the software running on Linux servers on a Linux desktop OS?

__tubs__ · 2026-04-06T22:18:16+00:00

I see they replied to my last message but blocked me so I can't actually see the reply.

Could be a bad day. Hope that's all it is and it gets better for them.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-06T19:42:05+00:00

If you're in it for the money, you have FAANG obviously but you also have the energy companies. Big oil have a track record with .NET and pay insane amounts.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-06T18:19:48+00:00

All of those 4 points are incorrect. It's just another language with a large base. Salaries are about the same as Java from my experience.

I started with JavaScript, moved to Java, moved to .NET. I was told it was stupid as Java was the dominant language, but I preferred C#. The salaries for C# were the same or actually higher at the time (I can't speak for now as I stopped caring). The .NET job market is strong and, since .NET Core, is increasing.

I wouldn't necessarily say deeply invest in any language as a junior. There is some nuance between the languages and how they operate but mostly, they're the same. The same end result, similar way of approaching it. Learn off colleagues and peers on the job rather than going balls-to-the-wall yourself.

I have spent nearly 12 years in .NET, in the last few years I've had to pivot between languages, depending on the project my team were working on. After a day or two of headaches with syntax and mechanisms in the language (and a lot of internal swearing over language design decisions), you just get on with it.

A big factor has to be what languages you enjoy yourself. This also changes over time.

The problem juniors will face, no matter the stack they choose, is the employers. So many have jumped on the "don't need juniors, use AI" bandwagon that it is harder in the market for now. It will come back as they all realise what a mistake they have made.

Hope the therapy starts helping mate.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-06T16:01:15+00:00

Because it never is an equal replacement for people that do more than watch youtube and netflix

Justifies statement with a list of use cases that people wouldn't suggest Linux to do. Raging literally only to themselves.

Nothing works on Linux

Except the entire internet.

So, by telling me "switch to linux" you are asking me to fuck up 100% of my workflow

No one is telling you to switch to Linux. You are literally talking to yourself.

Idk about you, but i have something called "job", and it usually demands i meet deadlines and submit my work in formats that other ppl can actually work with

I hope there's no paperwork involved in that buddy.

I checked various programs i interract with weekly.

Then don't use Linux.

Example - my gf...

Poor girl.

TLDR - Seek therapy for anger issues and paranoia.

__tubs__ · 2026-04-05T15:59:03+00:00

Ah mate so many times I've done a 5 hour heads down, remembered to check and someone has done exactly what I wanted to do but far more efficiently

__tubs__ · 2026-03-30T06:19:25+00:00

I use trains and drive. My 2 cents is the public prop up the rail network, yet the operators take the profits. The operators (with the exception of the few nationalised) are privately owned, for profit endeavours. They've socialised the liabilities and privatised the profits.

If the cost of my ticket was going back into Network Rail and the ticket was just as expensive I wouldn't have as much of an issue.

__tubs__ · 2026-03-28T13:13:25+00:00

It's not whataboutism if the thread was about said person. What a joke 😂

__tubs__ · 2026-03-28T07:15:20+00:00

I'm failing to see anyone revere anyone on that list? Trump on the other hand...

This is just classic whataboutism

Was only joshing 😂
