12 days agoI will almost always choose .NET as my development platform when greenfielding a project for exactly this reason. It’s an incredibly robust standard library that virtually guarantees I won’t need to pull in a litany of additional utility libraries, and I can also expect that what libraries I do choose to bring in are highly unlikely to drag along a ridiculous parade of dependencies.

Had a conversation with someone recently about exactly this. Usage of AI generated assets gives me exactly the same feelings as a local business using a gmail or personal ISP email account on their advertising.
It doesn’t automatically mean it’s bad, but it’s an indication that whoever is running things just can’t be bothered to put in effort.
