@AndSoWeCode I have also come to similar conclusion. Although, this is what scares me, cause they are the seniors of the future and I don't remember hating anything when I was getting started.
-
@Nato No, I expected respect between developers as a one big community as I think it should be. Theres a lot of things to rant about and still respect the colleagues from the other camps

Mostly agree with you but keep in mind that some people might have their own reasons/arguments for diskliking or 'hating' something.
Since the snowden revelations I'm highly reluctant to use closed source software and closed systems like windows/mac are a no go for me because nobody can independently check them for security vulnerabilities and/or backdoors. I find this highly dangerous in an era of mass surveillance and backdoors being pushed by secret court orders so yeah.
That's just my view but trying to make clear that although my views differ from yours, they're very much educated. -
@AndSoWeCode I hope you are right and the world just looks different nowadays. I know there is a lot of people like me, who just want to get the job done using the tools necessary, but i feel like the other group has become louder and larger and i feel sorry for and behalf of them.

@linuxxx Well argumented and reasoned dislikes have their place if the arguments are provided like you did. Although, I must ask, why you didn't report the Struts 2 issue, Heartbleed or Shellshock when you were code-browsing ;) Jokes aside, what if your boss gives you a .Net application, you should extend, would you decline ?
-
@Senior I'm not a programmer professionally :)
I finished my programming studies and became a Linux server/support engineer!
But yeah I'd decline. Mostly for the reason that I'd never get myself hired as a dot Net dev, I'd go for PHP or Node. -
@linuxxx Ok, what I was trying to say is that working with different languages, techniques and platforms gives you a lot more than living in your php/node bubble.
At my previous job I was sort of a swiss-army knife. I coded with .Net, Java, Php, Js (Angular, Node...) and even occational C. I also was the DbAdmin in MsSql, MySql and Db2 and administered our Win and Linux servers. That was actually huge fun. Now I'm sort of a lead architect/CTO in a multiplatform company and I am loving it. -
@Senior Oh I agree with the fact (it's a fact, no denying that one) that knowing loads of languages etc gives you more loving and also job chances.
I'd do it if it was my only way out but except for that, I've got certain ethics.
I worked in a distribution center lifting 20-40kg boxes the entire day for two+ months because I couldn't find a suitable job but that was fine enough with me :)
Been reading devRant for a while now and I have to say I'm sad about the way the future of the software engineering looks like. Everyone seems to have a lot of hatred towards certain techniques and/or platforms and sad to say, but you are missing a lot.
I have been in the biz for around 15 years and have worked on Win, Linux, Mac, Unix, Symbian, Embedded etc. using all sorts of tools and languages and I must say it has taught me a lot and given diversity on my career and I hope you could also open your mind and start educating yourselves. Theres a world behind your bubble!
Peace and love!
