Can you elaborate on that? I’m not sure what you are talking about.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Are you saying employers need to pay 3x as much because an employee can do more things? That's not now things work. Especially since you won't be working 120 hours per week like three employees would be.

@ for the such as you: if one woman borns a kid during 9 month, then nine woman during 1 :)))

That doesn't make any more sense. It seemed like saying you wanted to be paid three times the normal rate if you were expected to do C#, DBA, and Azure. I said that's not how things work. Then I made the comparison that if a company had the option between paying three people the standard rate or one person three times that rate, they will hire the three people because the three people will each work 40 hours per week vs just 40 for the "3x" person. The company isn't getting three times the value just because you can do three different tasks. Yes, you are more valuable, but you aren't doing three times the work. You are just working in three different areas (potentially). This has nothing to do with the idea that more people can do the job faster. You aren't doing one job. You are saying you are doing multiple jobs. Different people can do different jobs. So that saying doesn't apply.

I’m not sure what you are referring to here.

It is twenty years of history and changes over time.

You are welcome.

Thank you.

What is surprising to you?

I think that new features and more speed are great reasons to upgrade. But so is the fact that you are up to date and protected from security issues and bug fixes. As for Microsoft wanting companies to move to the cloud, they definitely want that but new versions of .NET aren't the way they achieve that. Instead, they solve problems people have and add features people want. That means that the cloud is a big part of that. The cloud is a solution to the problems of a lot of business.

practice is better, thats like reading how to fly a plane really well

Great!

C# is a modern language, but that doesn't mean you can't let your skills become legacy skills. C# has been around for 20 years. It changes a little bit every year. Also, the things around C# change over time as well. As a developer, you need to be continually learning and growing.

That is possible. Please upvote the suggestion on the suggestion site: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/

AI is not a primary skill. It is a tool to aid your existing skills. You definitely shouldn't let it lead you. That's why it isn't on my list of things to learn. As for source generators, they are great, but they don't avoid boilerplate code. They allow you to avoid writing it, but they create it for you. That might seem like splitting hairs, but the code still exists and it still needs to be maintained and debugged. Just because it is generated doesn't make it right or the best option.

Interesting, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, being a Java programmer is mostly about working on old legacy code at larger non or low-tech companies. Java developers here don't seem to have a bright long-term career. Maybe it's the same in the Netherlands so young programmers stay away from Java, which gives the increasingly smaller population of Java devs a competative advantage, similar to the small number of mainframe programming jobs with nearly all mainframe programmers already having left the field which works in the mainframe programmers favor.

Why not stay fresh with both? They are pretty similiar.

@@kcnl2522 - that's ideal, but unfortunately I don't have enough brainpower. Just getting good with a single language, devops (I include security here), and the various tools to make a nice UI is about all my brain can handle. Just to be clear, I consider a programmer someone that 1) gets the requirements from non technical users, 2) writes the code, 3) creates the database, 4) creates the UI, and finally 4) creates and later admins the QA and production environments.

@kcnl2522 The languages are extremely similar but the frameworks they run in are not. Sure you can probably use Java quite happily on Azure but the jobs I see are not usually using the same environments Microsoft developers are used to. So I'd need to learn all that too and while I'm sure there is a crash course in Java here on KZbin, I suspect experience is what employers want.

@@donaldlee9992 I suspect what happened here was that a number of big organisations including government departments, didn't want to get tied to Microsoft and their closed stack of tools and operating systems. However the advent of .Net Core could have been a game changer if it had arrived earlier. But nobody is going to rip out everything Java based they invested in because Microsoft opened everything up. But I suspect you are right about the legacy aspect of all this and a lot of adverts are requesting other languages such as Python.

Hehe

Which is good confirmation. Just don’t flip it and let ChatGPT drive and then find sources that agree.

Those are good frameworks to know.

Well they're making this cloud thing seem like it's the easiest thing ever to setup and maintain, but it isn't quite so. Also, for dev-ops, very few are really skilled in this. It goes beyond containers and deciding how to deploy. You need networking skills, powershell skills and/or bash skills... So our teams is dev-ops, but that doesn't mean everyone is skilled at doing everything. Most places use a hybrid setup, partially cloud and partially on-prem. So there will be work for everyone. One thing Tim is right about is that the person with the most skills will be in the best position in the market.

You can absolutely be a developer who just writes code. However, the more skills you have, the more options you have. That doesn't mean you have to do five jobs in one. But if a job for a C# developer wants someone who can also sometimes help out with their DevOps process, you wouldn't qualify. But, if you added DevOps skills to your resume, you would be able to get the job as a C# developer by just leveraging your additional skill. Another job might value you more if you knew SQL well.

I am on the same path bro, first 4 chapters are the strong foundation.

You can do it. Keep up the hard work.

The reason YARP was created because nginx was not powerful enough.

It isn't looking great right now. I've been waiting until I feel like it is warranted. Right now, the best .NET MAUI advice is to NOT use it for desktop apps and just know that it isn't as current on Android as it is on iOS. That means this cross-platform app type is really limited. While I'm not ready to teach it yet, I'll be teaching on Uno soon instead.
