I feel ya.
I got a bunch of views, reposts and likes by arguing with
@unclebobmartin, who thought
#csharp was a 'derivative' of Java (meaning a clone, not an original, well-designed language from the same guy who made Delphi and Turbo Pascal).
That garnered 30k views in no time because I called him a 'rookie' and a "Senior In Name Only".
Funnily enough, he only objected to being called a SINO, not a rookie! 😆🤣
My personal issue with
#Dotnetdevs is they're too milquetoast personality-wise or they chase the wrong things, or they expect MSFT to gaf about them or their projects, etc, etc.
Devs in general need to sack up. You'll hear Javascript devs bitch about stuff, but they'll actually put in work and build a new framework, then share it with everyone.
I don't see many dotnetters doing this. We go to formal, stuffy conferences.
We do have our punk-rock style dotnetters like the gal who's working on
#dotnetaspire.
Solution for now? Share what you make and show off real products written in dotnet. Be more aggressive than you have in the past.
Fuck up someone's Rust arguments by showing them we can use struct refs and don't need a borrow checker.
Make Typescript cry harder by pointing out C# did it better.
Make Python look incompetent and slow, with its many versioning issues.
Make Golang look like a basic bitch compared to C#'s mature features.
Make Linux devs understand they're one cURL away from the best mult-paradigm language - show them how to Async Bash in C#!
There's innumerable ways to combat this!
The
#dotnet community really is dead, isn't it? I share something absolutely mindblowingly awesome and its tumbleweeds. An equivalent in JavaScript garners thousands of shares and likes.
