I did .net development for 8 years, then moved to Ruby, but recently I started working on a little side business built with .net core targeting deployment on linux. I do most of my developing in Visual Studio Code on Mac osx.
Not going to lie, i've had my pain. Dependencies are still hell, getting stripe to work meant taking an open source library, and modifying it... and there's still some stuff I want to use, but haven't gotten working yet.
That said the platform keeps getting better, and I love what i'm seeing. I feel like it combines a lot of what I loved, with a lot of what I learned to love in Ruby.
Plus Microsoft is offering so many sweet deals with Azure, its hard to pass it up.
- mrspeaker 11y agoPlus, or "only because"? For us it's "only because"... I have no intrinsic loyalty to any provider and am happy to use any - I wonder if there's a difference!
- swalsh 11y agoIf you mean, AWS vs Azure... it's an "only because". Although if they were the same price, i'd still choose Azure.
- ossreality 11y agoAzure has nothing to do with DotNet and DotNet has nothing to do with Azure. Why even bring it up? All it does it perpetuate some really incorrect idea that ".NET runs better on Azure" or that Linux on Azure isn't a thing. It's a thing. We'll happily run your Ruby crap... for cheaper than DotNet and Windows. I mean, by all means, we have much better margins on the Windows IaaS and PaaS... so pad my paycheck, but it flat out doesn't make any sense.
