We only hire the trendiest

In my experience, trying to get people to use NuGet is like pulling teeth. When OSS dependencies are considered cromulent, vendoring, sometimes just straight-up binary vendoring, has been my experience with .NET shops. Those are the above-average places, though--I've seen a ton of reticence around using anything with an OSS license.

Coming from a Mono background, this was very weird to me.

I think the conclusion we can draw from this discussion is that dismissing Microsoft-stack developers is a terrible generalization.

Agreed in full; see my other post in this thread.

Very true. This used to be a point of contention where I work, but was easily fixed by having an automated process for getting our lawyers to approve OSS code (with a Nuget or Github URL). We still have to do it on a per-project basis (not per-license), but we're using lots of OSS code now and I've made a little headway on open-sourcing some of our own stuff.

These days OSS advocacy isn't that hard, especially with the hard facts demonstrated by CoreCLR.
