I've spent my entire career, 22 years, primarily in C#.

I'm quite employable.

> Because you love using Microsoft's shitty technologies

If we go by the joke in gp, this is you.

  • I don't have any problem with the idea that Microsoft's technologies are "shitty" after all the response of my work laptop to its mandatory Windows 11 upgrade was a non-copyable diagnostic message with an opaque code in it which, as I understand it, is basically the equivalent of "Huh, oops, maybe try again?" and my colleague spent a week trying to uh, share data from a "Sharepoint" table.

    But .NET's CLR doesn't seem especially shitty. It's not awesome, I don't feel that RIIR urge when I work with C# and I probably wouldn't with F# either but it's fine, it's like Java again, or maybe Go or Python. It's fine. I don't hate it and that's enough.
