Rebuilding for most cases seems silly to me. I've been working on a .net web app, that's been around since 2008. It's been continually evolved, so it's running on the latest MVC framework, uses microservices etc As resul

I find NPM packaging ridiculous. Awhile I go I used NPM on windows, where the folder hierarchy became so deep it broke windows file handling. I could not delete the modules folder. I had install a npm package which allowed me to delete it.

Speed of setup, and a standard stack everyone knows. You don't argue over which email server you use, you just setup Exchange. You don't argue over nginx, apache, etc just use IIS. It's also configured quite well out of the b

The standard for .NET shops is TFS. When you create a TFS project you setup CI and automated builds. "Bear in mind, a lot of .Net developers don't even know it's possible to compile their projects outside of Visual Studio. Ms

Considering the .NET stack has a heavy bias towards CI, that's hard to believe.

"The wast majority of people, who claim .NET experience can launch Visual Studio, then some wizards to generate skeleton of the app" - This is the ignorance. There are people who are pretty bad on other stacks as well. I know many

I would say most companies pay more for specialists, then someone who knows a little bit about everything. I personally know many languages a little bit, but I find writing my CV to target a specific stack results in a better responsive.

It's simple ignorance. People think .NET = old, not innovative, corporate In reality its a fast moving stack, that's constantly innovating.

Honestly a good recruiter can get you good contracts. Then you build up contacts via the contracts you've taken. Eventually you won't need a recruiter

If they wanted to attract good developers, surerly the price would go up as well? Good software developers are probably already employed in good positions so you need to raise the price to get them to apply.

Lack of respect. In the UK software developers are just considered "techies", nerdy and replaceable for a dime a dozen. Anyone with serious skills and ambition goes into banking, finanance or maybe a founder. Software developers i

TFS on premise also supports GIT. VSO is literally TFS in the cloud. Once x feature comes out VSO, then it comes out in TFS a few months later. I assume they have a shared code base. You confusing TFS(ALM- CI, Code Review, Testing, etc) wit

Well if someone threating to shoot you, then yes obviously someone is infringing on your liberty... so yes there would rules against that.

What the hell are you on about? Libertarians definition freedom stops at the point you start infringing on the freedom of others. It's a core concept. You would not find a single libertarian who agrees with your statement. They would p
