Nobody chooses .NET.
Not as a student, at least. You hear "backend" and the room splits into Spring Boot and Django camps — maybe Express if someo...

What’s the “unpopular” tech choice that ended up working out surprisingly well for you?
For me, it was .NET — partly because fewer people around me were choosing it, and partly because C# turned out to be way better than I expected. 😂
Curious to hear what you picked when you decided to go against the crowd. 👇

Lemme make it easier for ya: V.A.L.I.D.
Give it a go, if you wanna try Blazor, I built it to replace CSLA, write all the boilerplate for me, wire everything properly, proper unit tests, debug UI issues and properly scope rules. Also not that tough to wrap your head around, imo easier than setting up a blazor app normally.
I didn't get it sir/ma'am, is this promotional or you just want me to go through repo cause I do know blazor?
Meant for you to give it a try and see if you like it. I wrote it to make creating and maintaining a blazor app easier, while also fixing Blazor's stupid VDOM issues.
Cool, sure I'd give it a try and probably star it for now and then go through it, cause I gotta revise blazor a bit😅. Haven't used it since my internship.🫠
Would really appreciate it! Hope you like it, it was designed to do all the mundane tasks for you (everything where mistakes happen), so you can focus on what matters (data structure and UI design).
Sure I will, just starred it😅. But since you're a senior dev, I'd like to know your opinion about the theme of the post. What was your first stack or maybe which project that you didn't knew got you an opportunity you wanted? I ask it to everyone, cause I get a bit info before I start my fresher job next year.
Wow bro, you clearly find good post ideas and all the posts in this series have a clearly good theme, But I thought this series was about Dev.to. Regardless, Good post.👍️
Well, the "DEV" refers to dev.to and DEV life both😉. Thanks for reading.
And I forgot, we did this together. But still .NET is not my stack like you😂
Well, It worked out for me so I'm not gonna say anything bad🤣.
You should not!! Also, I liked that your analogy of C# is different. No wonder you chose .NET role and it had just 4 guys shortlisted in the technical round.
Don't spill everything bro🤫. I wanna write a new post about the current interview process too. But you're right .NET had less candidates cause more were in AI-ML, DEVops roles. 😅
This post is a banger 🔥 I use C++ with Unreal Engine for 3D game dev too, so this was right up my alley lol :)
That's great. I actually wanted to start dev career with animation or game dev but explored a lot and went it saying It's not for me🤞.
And thanks for the complement. It really feels good when people really share their experience. 😅
Yeah, that’s actually a good point. Exploring different things before fully committing to one path is always better. At least you got some clarity on what you don’t wanna do, and honestly, that matters too. 😃
I’m kinda the same tho. I’m not really into the designing side of game development, even though people often tell me I’m pretty good at it. 😅 But I’m way more interested in programming, so if I ever go into game dev, I’d definitely prefer the programming side of it.
And haha, I’m glad you liked what I said. I genuinely enjoy hearing about people’s experiences too. You can learn a lot from someone else’s journey. 🤝🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for kind words.
TBH I spent my entire 10th grade when we had covid in figuring out how to animate, cause I had a lot of great ideas, even wrote a script but then I got to know about Blendor, Maya and definitely knew from then that I can't do this😅.
So, I went with CS only.
Haha, yeah, it does seem hard at first, but you slowly get the hang of it. I chose CS too. Btw, what percentage did you get in 10th? Random question lol xD
Well, TBH its not that like crazy, it was 94.16% in GSEB but since covid was there, the exams didn't happen and 50% marks were considered from 9th and 25% from prelims, which only 3-4 of all schools in my city took offline and mine was 1 of it. My dad was really happy on the result day. Unlike me, cause it really doesn't matter.😅
