2020 goals:
* Complete my gender transition
* Learn C#, ASP.NET Stack and become a productive Microsoft Stack Developer
* Find a new, higher paying job
* Buy more stickers

🍿

Why would you do that, thats a sin against God and nature

I mean the microsoft stack

I have found that the Microsoft stack doesn't lead to the highest paying of jobs. Up until about 4 or 5 months ago, I was a Microsoft stack dev.

@projektaquarius
F# on core pays obscenely well. But there are few jobs :D

1 conflicts with 3, 3 conflicts with 4

@kleopi Many trans people who don't do #1 tend to off themselves, so. Probably important.

The transition I really don't understand is from Ruby to Microsoft. What the hell are you thinking?

@Root too few ruby jobs in my area while flooded with C#

@Root I went from VB to PHP to C# to CoffeeScript to Ruby to Python to JavaScript

Sometimes you need to play around

@010001111 Sounds like me 😋
(I had a more low-level focus though!)

Good luck!!

If you're already learning c# and asp.net why not making it core and go full cross platform?

@dUcKtYpEd
Confused as to what you mean by that, Ruby and .Net exist at the same level of abstraction.

@hubiruchi Well core is the new standard and everything (standard, mono, and core) merges into .NET 5 this November.

@catgirl
That's just a rebranding honestly. Happens every time something good comes in the .Net world, old guard comes along to bury it in enterprise entropy. With any luck there won't be an associated reorg that nerfs the core team and they maintain some degree of autonomy.

Not confident though, we already saw a 6 month delay on the 3.0 release comprised entirely of waiting for the visual studio team to get their shit together.

@dUcKtYpEd
I have, though that's kind of a broad statement with variable levels of implementation:

Web form control state binding, MVC model binding, Route model binding, Cli argument binding, wcf soap message binding, xml-rpc message contract binding, remoting message binding, wpf/silverlight markup extension model binding, and a few others as well.

And those are all be application framework level, .net underpins those implementations

@dUcKtYpEd
I'm actually asking which one, because that term applies to several different things, ranging from xml to mvc to wcf.

You can still do all that if you want, starting with a CLI project, you can write pretty much everything just the way you want.

I understand the desire though, I feel like most of the big problems I'd care to tackle have already been solved I'm every language and platform.

@catgirl yeah I know. Though there is a small difference between asp .net and asp .net core. And from my (little) experience with both of them it is mainly about managing your project
