I was learning C# (had just come from Java/Eclipse land), and I was using the command-line compiler just to get comfortable and learn some in's and out's. I was the first CS programmer they hired (I was still in school), they were crewed up with a lot of nice guy MIS's... it was funny when they hired another CS guy and he started doing the same things I did when I started, and getting in minor trouble with management. They also wouldn't let us use ANY scripting languages for anything... everything should be compiled code based on "Principal", it runs faster and is "strongly typed" which is philosophically "better" I was told without a reason. Never mind that most of the other coders still used strings for everything (especially numbers), and 50%+ of the code base was XML serializers/deserializers. (Also the web apps were hideous,... WebForms what a shitty set of web-dev metaphors.) I also got in trouble for wasting my time writing unit tests, we were an "agile" company with no time for tests. Yeah, once I had a plan and some cash, I got the fuck out of dodge. (ultimately, while still there, I ended up in vs+viemu, which I found fairly productive, and would highly recommend it to any VS code slingers)
