Microsoft recruiter reached out about a role there. I'm interested in Azure, but I'd rather chop my dick off with a blunt-edged rock than touch .NET again. Do they use any other languages that aren't .NET or front-end?
What do you have against .NET? Serious question
Azure is a huge organization and there are many teams within it that arenât working directly on azure infrastructure and might not be using .Net. So it sort of depends on the specific team. However there will likely be some C# in any role that you take within Azure so if you want to avoid it 100% itâs not the place for you
Core azure storage and compute is all c++.
What's so wrong with .Net. Seems far better than what Java as a platform is.
Azure is all python
Itâs all jQuery actually. It just works
Internal monitoring and deployment tools are horrible.
You may have some seriously unresolved Oedipal issues. Or maybe youâre transgendered. Because you should value your dick way more than a tech stack. And .NET, BTW, is not that bad. Even so, your dick matters more.
There are a lot of teams doing native C++ and a lot of services on Linux (read not .net)... however if you hate the entire platform then drop MSFT
Dotnet runs on Linux...
Several folks mentioned deployment and monitoring tools in Azure. But it really depends on your teamâs decision. Some old team mindset is still centered around the legacy PaaS cloud services that use internal tools, but that is not the reality. New services are developed as WebJobs or azure serverless functions that can be deployed directly from the IDE (like Visual Studio) with AppInsights enabled in one click. This also eliminate the need for the legacy azure security pack. Also, lots of different languages are supported, from Python to Java to C/C++. Just google âazure functionâ and âazure webjobsâ, you will find the details BTW, you can deploy your services to Windows or Linux servers (containers)
Extensively! .Net is actually not the worst part. There are deployment and monitoring tools that need to be torched to death I tell you what! I spend 10% of my time coding and the rest figuring out the garbage âinternal toolsâ to figure out how to roll out a new service. And oh, they change every other month! Donât get me started on SAW đĄ Thatâs one of the main reasons Iâm leaving MS in 3 weeks. I may be bruised and biased. Someone else with a more positive experience should chime in. Whatâs wrong with AWS? Youâre already at Amazon?
No, I'm on the retail side
Move to AWS if you can. How is the transfer process at Amazon?
