Your comment offends me, but on a light note, for every 1 developer doing the enterprise overengineering crap, there is a dozen of us C# guys who are doing the opposite where I work.
No, C# best practices look nothing like this. I have no idea what happens in Sharepoint land or deep in the enterprise and MS Office stacks, but the core of .Net is not over-engineered to this level. Factories, FactoryFactories, and XML-configurable dependency interjection frameworks are nowhere to be seen.
No. I honestly want to see some of this great code that I keep hearing about.
It's just hilarious to me when people think their shit doesn't stink and so I rub their faces in it.
Have you seen the code for Node.js? It's fucking disgusting. Yet everybody around here can't get enough of it. Seriously...I'd love to see how some of these developers would deal with enterprise requirements. I think the problem is that they just don't understand that business is chaos, it's not like building some pie-in-the-sky single-purpose social media application.
It's quite common in these parts to be honest to piss on .net/Java 'enterprise' code.
Many of the folks here haven't seen what kind of systems banks and other big companies work with, so they have this little start-uppy world view with tests and orm's and the like, where vulnerabilities in their software are touted as 'the price to pay for being agile', so it is very hard for them to understand some of the practises in big companies. Now sure, I've seen some bad code in there as well, but I also seen a lot of bad code in Rails projects (heck, before the idea of fat model skinny controller, most of rails programmers had controllers the size of the moon, then cam fm-sc and now models are enormous, but in rails 4 we will have concerns which I'm sure will result in same clusterfuck, and the interesting thing is, before fm-sc, rails folks said 'yeah, controllers are supposed to be like that', then with fm-sc 'no no, it's like this now', and now we get to concerns and will be the hot topic, and they keep rewriting and rewriting and touting how .net/java devs don't know what they are doing, while these devs have code in production and still in development for decades (well, java at least) in systems they can't even imagine the complexity.
tl,dr: stop assuming .net/java devs are shit and you are the best for using rails or python, chances are, you suck as much as them.
In all fairness, banks in general have shit security and willfully ignore good security practices. I can configure my Facebook account to have better security than most banks.
