I have a friend-of-a-friend who has a successful 30 person contracting business. They do C#. He, the co-owner benefits from this.
I was responding to a question from a FAANG developer. FAANG developers don't get moved. FAANG developers move when they want to move: to projects that they find interesting; to other FAANGs; or to start-ups.
And FAANGs don't pick one language because "hey, it's possible to do what you want in it".
- kcb 5y agoI honestly don't have first hand experience, but I seriously doubt every FAANG developer is the rock star you're making them out to be. I'm sure there are certainly plenty of FAANG developers working on boring shit that needs to get done.

Suppose you got bored and want to switch. Or there are new interesting opportunities. If you know C#, you just switch without having to learn a new language and libraries.
- jhgb 5y ago> without having to learn a new language Well, at least you can if Blazor gets finished.
- lowbloodsugar 5y ago>without having to learn a new language and libraries This. You see this as a positive. I see this as a negative. And we're both right, right? You are right in your domain, and I am right in mine.
