His ad hominem was uncalled for. To be completely fair though, your list of grievances (some of which are fully valid) intersect strongly with things most people encounter in their first 6 months of working with the framework.
I feel you on the hiring bit, there's such a glut of resume padders, bullhockey purveyors, enterprise leftovers in .Net it's hard to find good people (especially in the US). If you put feelers out to any recruiting firm you'll receive a who's who of people no one will hire. There's also not much of a community to speak of compared to other platforms (what community there is is spread out across numerous platforms or centered around MS, github) so there's not really anywhere you can post your jobs and expect a positive result.
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoThe hiring thing is maybe a bit of a chicken and egg situation, as there's clear prejudice against .NET in many hackernews posters and low amount of job ads on who's hiring. I've read threads here of a number of people who switched stacks because of this issue, even though as it becoming apparent .NET is a perfectly cromulent stack! To anyone trying to hire heavy lifting .NET expertise, I am now looking for an interesting fully remote role! I've been using .NET since V1 and Delphi before that so I have deep exposure to getting things done with this stack and would prefer to work with it compared to most others. I've also worked commercially with about 10 languages so fairly polyglot, just find C# very powerful with a focus on GTD.
