  • C# is nearly the same, but much, much better.

    • It doesn’t (usually) come with the Java culture 8 layers of abstraction. This isn’t in the Java language. This isn’t in OO. Yet nearly every Java programmer makes things way more complicated than it needs to be.
    • It’s a prettier language. Similar syntax with less bullshit.
    • It’s open source
    • It’s still multiplatform. Modern dotnet / C# works on anything.
    • Both Visual Studio and Visual Studio code are great IDEs that blow Eclipse out of the water
    • It’s one of the most common business languages.
    • It’s going to be supported forever.

    If I could restrict the world of programming to two languages, it’d be C# and Rust. C# for most things and Rust for a lower level language.



  • feel free to wow them with contactless payments

    This is quite dated. Per Forbes, "Nearly 90% of U.S. consumers now use contactless payments, "

    Tip at restaurants where they take your order at the table and bus your table, 15-20% of the total. Absolutely don’t tip at those kiosks at the counter. They’ll beg for a tip because software. You’re absolutely fine to hit skip or custom 0. Don’t normalize that shit.
















  • I’d also like to see specialist instances. There could absolutely be a separate instance that has major sports, for example. Or even just the NFL. Kind of like the benefits of old forums, but with the benefits of federation and Reddit.

    More geographic based instances would also be great.

    Otherwise I’m not into more instances just for defederation’s sake. Email works just fine having most users in a few major hosts. Lemmy can be similar. It’s the option to leave that is important.
