I'm sorry, I just remembered the few .NET maxis I've shared hours with and tried to extrapolate a whole company full of them. I'm sure they must work great with each other.

Which I guess was the whole premise of the .NET ecosystem, so score one for Redmond, I guess!

Apropos, what do they do for fun? I'll probably never meet 100 .NET devs in my life so honest question.

Odd question, but as a .NET developer myself

Mountaineering, climbing, bouldering, going to gigs, playing pool, running, music festivals, gaming, photography, watching F1, watching NBA, eating out with friends...

I'm not sure what the point of the question was ?

Ah, well, obviously the point of the question was to be odd for oddness's sake, as some form of bizarre, self-inflatory social ploy!

I couldn't possibly have intended my question as a straightforward request for information about something, now could I?

That would just be weirdy-weird, if people started asking each other questions for the purpose of receiving answers.

Thanks for answering though.

The reason I thought it was odd was that I've never seen any correlation between someones hobbies outside of work and what tech stack they use at work.

That's OK. I keep seeing a correlation between people's proneness to be like

>The reason I thought it was odd was that I've never seen [it]

and which tech stacks they feel more comfortable with.

Play in a band, ride bikes, play video games. Sample size of one.

Cool, what genre?

Rock mostly covers. I play keyboard. Trying to learn to sing. Progress is mixed.
