And people wonder why developers are not being treated like mature professionals... This kind of juvenile "OMG, I wouldn't want to be seen dead in such off-brand sneakers" attitude belongs in a school playground. Meanwhile there are probably many thousands of .NET devs making a good living in a nice job with a pleasant (albeit somewhat conventional) work environment and making enough money to take care of the things that really matter to them (family, kids). And they couldn't care less about being a cool Node.js or Ruby developer. No, you won't run in the them that much. They hang out with the grown-ups.

And I am so disappointed to see that on the front page. I'm a young .NET developper. I will have to find a new job in a few months. I really like Node.js so I would like to find a job on it but I will never refuse a job just because it is .NET development. First, it is a nice technology to work with even if it is linked to prioritary code. Second, it is not the technology which makes a job interesting. It has more to do with the product, the company and the team. Third, it might a good bet to work on a technology which is not the current cool kid on the block. .NET is used in a lot of places so we will have a lot of job offers with few developers. In this context you can manage to get a nice salary and you won't be treated like meat. I agree with you we have a problem with this fashion of technologies. But like you said, and thanks to that, there are still a lot of developpers who do not fall on this trap.
