Scattered years, a year contract here and there. The toxic culture event was 2023 and EA was 2022. The fist fight was 2006 or so.

But interesting that you throw shade at Ruby with no explanation. Feel free to expand at length. I would like to hear your objections.

Ruby is just a bad technology - very slow, brittle, extremely messy the moment a codebase becomes larger than trivial, not ideal package management, unproductive. It was made work by many great engineers that would have either had more success with a different technology or would have spent less effort in achieving their goals with it. Pick C# or Kotlin with ASP.NET Core or Ktor and be faster at shipping both the initial prototype and then managing the product after years of growth, while enjoying 10x difference in server resources utilization.

But frankly your sentiment on C# is so unhinged that I don't even know where to start.

Sure and while we both wait for visual studio to be installed, I will have solved the problem in Ruby already.

Edit - No Rails, I never said rails.

[neonsunset]

I don’t use Visual Studio :)

But I guess by the time it installs Rails finally completes serving the first request.

Well I never said anything about rails.

I sure would like to see the software development shop that uses C# and not Visual Studio.

[neonsunset]

There are many companies that employ C# alongside other languages, or C# and F# exclusively, that have teams using Macs with VS Code or Rider. Whichever language/platform you had experience with has little to do with what .NET is for 8 years already, and its unproductive to insist on outdated perception.

I was talking about what at least 2 companies were doing in the past year.
