Sad about .NET (thelemmy.club)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by edm@thelemmy.club to c/programming@programming.dev

These last ten years I was really enjoying what Microsoft and its .NET teams were doing. Felt like a good community to be a part of. Huge strides to make things run anywhere and be more involved with the open source community.

While that hasn't necessarily gone away, jamming LLM's into everything is leaving a real sour taste. Pointless copilot button anywhere and everywhere. VS and VSCode pushing the GitHub copilot chats and agents.

We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn't listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.

You can be on Linux and still enjoy most of .NET. Hell, I'd say its high time for most to switch offtof Linux.

I'll admit, I really enjoyed C# for Game Dev, but post Unity shenanigans that died off. And now Judy do boring, run of the mill backend stiff....

Though as a programmer, Ive been tempted to learn classic C, and even D.

Outside of corporate, I game found much fun (besides GDScript, cause game dev) but languages used by FOSS do get my attention from time to time.

Edit : correction to Linux

What do you mean by this?

My apologies I hadn't notice the typo. I meant to say we need to switch off of windows to Linux. Thanks for pointing it out
