As someone who has built more than one popular platform on .NET (DotNET for the marketing conscious), I often get asked about its relevance and whether it’s an ecosystem really worth investing in. "The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say"
Preaching to the choir (mostly here, anyway). But, it's Friday, and I feel like preaching.
And I felt like my neighbourhood needed to hear that song again.

One of the greatest songs, .NET is pretty good too.

So why does everyone want node.js or Python for back-end development?

I know it's kind of popular here, but it seems to be much less used than 15 years ago.

Twitter targeted ads with phone numbers and emails collected for security purposes. Well, they didn't say that Twitter couldn't refrain from not using them.
And I'm sure they're not the only ones doing this. Just the big one to get caught.

But as long as the punishments are so moderated, they will continue doing it. It is cheaper for them to pay the fine, than to sacrifice that income.

If you don't want to wait as long as September to be officially updated through Windows Update, you can get it right now through the official channels via Microsoft, and enjoy all of the new features. Hopefully everyone won't rush out and do this right away

Even more hopefully they won't push it, if you want it or not...

A new comprehensive report has found that many remote learning apps used during the pandemic tracked students and shared their information with advertisers for targeted ads. There's my shocked face again

If a company doesn't have a technical career path, it loses good developers, many of whom become poor managers--a double whammy. It is remarkable that an article with this title doesn't point this out. If software is vital to an enterprise, its key developers should be rewarded in much the same way as its senior management.
