The enterprise culture is why I left. C# + Visual Studio remains the most productive combo I’ve worked with, though. I just can’t see myself going back, due to the culture. Also, I’m a VIM and Linux guy now, and hope to never run Windows again. .NET was not a first class experience in VIM the last time I tried.

Did you find work in Software Development for Unix?

In university, I was the other way around, when I got out I said "time to roll up your sleeves and stop using printf to debug things, VS is where things get done".

Little did I realize I'd transition from a chipper, curious regex piper into a jaded highly productive custodian.

I became a web developer, basically. Doing web apps, web services, etc in Ruby, Node, and Go. It was a pretty easy transition. If you know and love programming in C#, my guess is you can pick up just about anything in a short amount of time.
