C# has some wonderful quality of life improvements over, say, Java. I had to learn it in a rush for a job and really loved the language.
Unfortunately, it was the worst job ever. Abusive, corrupt environment. I found a subtle accounting glitch that no one else seemed to quite understand. Assuming good faith, I showed mathematical proof for it, and I was canned shortly thereafter. On its own, the glitch wasn't too serious, but I suspect people were nervous that I was digging too close to something else.
Never bothered to set up the env at home again after that on account of the foul taste in my mouth, but that was hardly C#'s fault. Just found other things to do.
- haolez 6y agoHeard a similar story from a close friend. Also a C# shop. A few months after, the glitch was indeed due to corruption and some middle managers were stealing money. They went to jail soon afterwards. Maybe this just means that C# is widely used in places where fraud can result in big gains. EDIT: what I meant is that C# is probably used a lot in accounting departments, for example. I'm not trying to imply that C# invites fraud :)

- damagednoob 6y agoAre you sure? I mean, there's at least _2_ data points.

- dgritsko 6y agoIt's more just that "C# is widely used".
