There is something liberating about letting MS make most of the choices for you- never worrying about a new language or what is the best logging library, or how best to chain three logging libraries together or what not. You just deal with what MS has chosen, no matter how suboptimal, and start coding.
Of course MS has created its own dead ends, and has situations where the best solution is just a warmed-over c# version of what Java does. But, especially if the code is just a means to an end, sometimes it's just best to go hard with the tools you know.

- syedmisbah 8y agoOff topic, but wasn't there a famous comment around the warm at first and then starts feeling cold..around peeing? Do you happen to know the exact comment?
- jacobush 8y agoI've heard many variations on the same theme, it's what I alluded to. Feels good at first but it's not a long term solution. :)
