So correct me if i'm wrong, this mean that it basically is man in middle relay sitting between you and resource you are trying to access, and knows things you want. Basically an aggregator of data under guise of privacy.
Most backend interviews will ask following
1. OOP concepts
2. System Design
3. Database Modeling
But specific to .net would be
1. Asp.net core MVC pipeline
2. What are new changes or improvements in .net 6/core
3. Dependency injection
4. Authentication - JWT, OAuth, Cookie based.
5. What is middleware and give me few example where you would use this?
Also most probably they will ask about Azure specific services like
1. Service bus concepts
2. Queues
3. CosmosDb
4. App service
5. AKS - managed Kubernetes.
C# concepts - Interface vs Abstract class, Collection interface differences like IEnumberable vc ICollection vs IList, when to use what?
To mention what good software without bloatware looks like, go checkout https://nirsoft.net website. Small size and absolutely wonderfully working tools made by single dev. Its epitome of craftmanship.
PS: Also System internals tool made by Mark Russinovich
In your opinion, what expected changes in JavaScript are going to be the most important?
"The best thing we can do today to JavaScript is to retire it. Twenty years ago, I was one of the few advocates for JavaScript. Its cobbling together of nested functions and dynamic objects was brilliant. I spent a decade trying to correct its flaws. I had a minor success with ES5. But since then, there has been strong interest in further bloating the language instead of making it better. So JavaScript, like the other dinosaur languages, has become a barrier to progress. We should be focused on the next language, which should look more like E than like JavaScript."
Well he is right about that, the amount bloatware in terms of frameworks, libraries. I wish JS would have better goal or vision than to just make it like all for one kind of language mentality. These JS committees are hell bent on creating browser OS so they could eventually force everything to subscription based garbage software in running browsers requiring 64GB of ram. I guess we might be headed for those future sooner than we think.
PS: Sorry for grim outlook but it kind makes sense from business perspective.
I'm using M1 Pro latest with 16gig ram. If you are doing development on anything that has yet to release apple silicon binaries its huge pain the a*. I'm working on specific version of python that has virtually no support or binary for ARM.
All the monkey switching between brew for arm and brew for intel and the mess you get, I find it frustrating. Nothing on device its truly well built but just gets in the way of work a lot.
I have being doing dotnet for at least 7 years now. Started with Webforms being fresh out of university. I'm sad to say I agree with most criticism of dotnet ecosystem. I personally believe MS always want to be in control and that leaves no space for innovation in open source as well. It feels like suffocation at best.
MS took control of javascript community in through typescript and npm. Now most of companies want typescript guy doing frontend in react/angular. Added already one more abstraction to already complex JS ecosystem.
I have used Python recently. It felt like breath of fresh air. Plus IDE are really smooth.
I have nothing against dotnet/C# as language. Its ecosystem that tightly controlled and criticism is shot down quite literally. All important libraries in MS world are locked behind paywall unlike Python, Java, JS, ruby communities.
This scene has changed in recent years, but quite it was like that before 2018. Like PDF generation, SSO libraries, tools for profiling.
Anyway I personally think that dotnet should not be once first language/entry into programming career. You will miss innovation open source ecosystem and will be behind for years than your other language peers.
Also dotnet job market has lot of issues, good paying job are required you to either maintain legacy system in SOAP/XML, webservice and what not. Not much of vibrant job market for dotnet i would say.
For me dislike speaks volumes. Googles reasoning seems to misguide people to drive more ads. Plain simple and effective. Decision to protect content creator masquerading as earn more at the expense people times. Well now we need to create new Chrome addon something for this shit.
> Tech stack matters. OK I just said tech stack doesn't matter, but hear me out. If you hear Python dev vs C++ dev, you think very different things, right? That's because certain tools are really good at certain jobs. If you're not sure what you want to do, just do Java. It's a shitty programming language that's good at almost everything.
If you like hacking or more importantly pen testing..Start with bug bounties..will take time but if you get some bounties you get money a well solid proof that you have skills.
