What absolute drivel. Any engineer worth their wage doesn't pigeon hole themselves into one technology. Those that do, you simply don't hire and they fade into obsolescence.

Concepts are more important that technologies. If you embrace the Microsoft stack, that gives you but one view of how things can be pieced together. If you embrace some different stack that gives you another view and so on.

To claim that you are somehow inferior as a developer for using a Microsoft stack is just bigoted and really doesn't have any place on hacker news.

Did you read the same article I did? The article said very little about which stack you used, and spent as much time, if not more time, attacking Facebook and Google employees than Microsoft employees. He basically said two things:

1) if you're a facebook or google employee, get out more and interact with people who aren't also employees there.

2) if you're a microsoft employee, make sure you work on stuff that uses a non-microsoft stack.

In other words, he agrees with you on the Microsoft side and you're just aimlessly ranting about an article you didn't read.
