Would you feel the same way about someone who is currently doing .Net but has experience with other technologies in the past, and still learns and uses non-MS technology outside of their current job?
Like me, for example, I currently have a job doing .Net, but in my past I have several years experience working in iOS, a year working with a Java stack, I used to do PHP way back in the day, I use Python all the time for personal scripts, and I'm currently learning React-Native to update my mobile experience and get a couple new apps out there.

No, certainly not. But I've reviewed resumes of folks who were clearly just cogs in the Microsoft machine (without any indication that they were doing things with Unix & free software in their free time). I really am concerned about bringing in someone like that. I like your breadth of experience, particularly your usage of Python. Many of my concerns about .Net are applicable to iOS, and I have other concerns about Java, and still other ones about PHP, but anyone who uses Python is probably a good egg.
- cableshaft 11y agoThat's encouraging, thank you. I've had some frustration in interviews because interviewers I've encountered have only really paid attention to my most recent tech stack and job and seem to almost completely ignore the rest of my resume, despite working with a wide variety of tech and fields in the past successfully (games, mobile, web, startups, enterprise).
