OK I wasted 90 minutes more than I intended reading the news of the world burning and engaging in disappointment on my previous favorite cross platform app platform #dotnet (w/Avalonia). Time to buckle down and get productive on my new favorite one #flutter.
dotNET, really? 👀 I didn't expect that
@jec Yeah this whole pulling already finished and almost released features from dotnet command line (hot reload) out so that it only exist in Visual Studio.
@jec&
No I meant I didn't expect you to be a fan of .NET lol
@jec As a platform it has a lot going for it technologically speaking, especially in the .NET Core era. It has some issues I'm not thrilled with though, but which platform doesn't?
@jec&
I'm not a developer so I'll take your word for it!
@jec Speaking for myself, if I want to eat, I use whatever the job calls for.

Since I'm passionate about learning about software, electronics, that sort of thing I'll look into stuff just to see what it has going for it. Microsoft's .NET seems to bring a lot of things together (embrace) without breaking too much (extend). IMO that's a delightful change for Microsoft's business model.

The powerful can pull the rug out from under the powerless at any time. It was nice they put the rug back but it took a lot of drama to get there. Imagine if in the movie "The Big Lebowski" the Big Lebowski said "I apologize Dude, my bad. Let me buy you a new rug and here's a little extra for your trouble." Wouldn't be much of a show, would it?
