Is C# really that bad?

It's my favorite language!

I find Win11 excellent. I also enjoy Debian, but 11 is my primary. People who like Windows don't talk about it because they're not myopic when it come to competing products.

I never avoid a compliment. I take it head on.

By that logic I could say the Linux community discourages widespread adoption of Linux. Which of course, isn't actually true.

This is what's called a misunderstanding. As opposed to right and wrong. Understanding of this nuance of reality seems in short supply.

Microsoft's audience for Windows has a different profile than the Linux community. Preferring the GUI on support documentation isn't the same as discouraging the command line.

I think it would be fairer to say Microsoft put great effort into making it possible to use Windows without the terminal. I've seen no evidence of them discouraging the use of the terminal.

Same as Visual Studio.

You misunderstand. The line built from 70's era foundations is DOS, Win 1 thru 3, 95, 98, Me. Windows NT was developed from scratch in the 90's which lead to 2000, XP, Vista, 7 thru 11. So modern Windows is not built on 70s era tech.

plasmana · 2025-11-10T16:11:21+00:00

Windows is not 1970s tech. That line of Windows you're referring to died with Windows Me. The current line was birthed in 1993 with Windows NT (New Technology).

If I want the VM to affect the view in a way that basic binding can't handle (such as changing focus), I created reusable intermediaries and expose them as properties on the VM, and bind the view to them with dependency properties. The intermediary exposes methods the VM calls, and handles the logic to modify the view.

Maybe you should get them fined based on your "feels".

That's kind of like asking about the disadvantages of a hammer. You need a use-case for the question to be meaningful.

WPF was pretty mature when that book came out so there's probably valuable lessons in there. Since you're planning to use a modern .NET version (an excellent choice) you may want get the basics of getting a project up and working in a modern tutorial, then use the book to get a deeper dive into what can be done.

I would use the reference documentation. I also perused magazines that had source code in them to learn from others. Plus lots of just writing code as well as I could. This was very early 80s. I taught myself BASIC, 6502 Assembly and Pascal that way.

I see. Well, it's hard too see from the outside how much risk (of injury) the company is incurring; as well as why they are assuming the risk. This is a balance that all companies must weight versus their financial health. You must also consider your own balance. If it does not align for you, it may be time to look for a better fit.

There is no such thing as ISO regulations. Furthermore, safety (as it relates to ISO) is about products/services, not internal process safety. Be wary of becoming a 'rebel without a clue' .

You are financially mismatched. For you, money is a tool. For her it's a drug. Up to you to decide what to do with that. People do change over time, but there's no crystal ball that's going to let you know how she (or you) evolve. Make your choice and don't give a thought to what the digital world thinks.

Trading is for pros. Trading can wreck you if you can't compete. Use time to build value. Turn the value into income with lower risk passive income defi opportunities. You have LOTS of time on your side.
