What are the advantages of .Net Core that management will understand?

VB.Net

The technology isn't the issue, its the people.

I absolutely could not agree more! Where I work currently, they are all former VB6/VB.NET developers who now write C#. Quite frankly they should not be involved in anything relating to software development.

I never really knew if the "VB Developer" stereotype was true until I worked here, and now it's probably one of the most truthful stereotypes I've come across.

They show a fundamental lack of understanding about technology and software development. There's no design patterns, everything is in 500 line to 1000 files. Multiple classes in every file. Hardly any interfaces, absolutely no effort to understand interfaces, LINQ, System.Collections.Generic (they prefer to use List and IList when IEnumerable would have been better), a belief that int and long etc are magically capable of changing size at runtime so they insist on using Int32 and Int64 for everything. Absolutely afraid of anything new or modern, totally butchering how you use Javascript and Typescript as well.

I could go on, but jesus christ. Fucking VB developers.
