You know, I think my mistake might be doing this in person. People can “yes, yes” you all they want, but, like you said, registered mail is legally hardcore.

Still in the EU, I used a service to switch electric companies. All the telcos offer to cancel your old contract, but then they fight each other and you’re always the loser. It’s unreal.

I don’t know what it feels like to unearth ancient Roman artifacts, but finding out that weird process nobody understands is actually just dead code is a lot of fun! It’s not a bad career route.

Sure, but you need to do something for that money. You’ll probably have docs for what, but you’ll often need to dig through the code for the how.

Learning .NET is easy, the hard part is understanding the business. You can buy books or training for whatever language, but once the people who thought up the logic of the system leave, all you can do is archeology.

Meanwhile, “syncing projects…”

You know, I don’t know enough about Delphi. I’ve great good things, I should check it out, I guess it might be familiar.

I enjoyed playing with Kotlin on Android. Nice ergonomics.

Conversely, I’ve written C++ code to into DLLs interop with .NET. It makes a lot of sense given what .NET was developed for.

Rust adds the curly brace syntax so you can import a specific subset from a module, but I can’t decide if I like that. In C# you just keep adding extra lines which take up more vertical space, but if you sort your using a alphabetically (which your IDE can do), I think you get a very readable list. In sum, Rust adds a feature that I don’t really actually like.

I have so little Python experience I didn’t even mention it, but I remember enjoying that too.

Wow, now I have something to hold over all my Java dev friends. Thanks!
