OK, so that is an alarmist title, but after seeing a couple of other posts, like this, I am starting to wonder. I know more and more people going “open.” I don’t know the exact reason. Seems to be a mentality. Some people are genetically wired to be OK working in cubes in corporate America. Others, prefer smaller more creative environments. Of course there are the MS haters, but I think this is more than that.

We, at Barefoot, have a kick ass job opportunity available for a ASP.NET developer, but we are getting very little qualified response. I know there are qualified people out there. I know a number of really good and smart .NET developers. Perhaps it is a declining community and all the developers left are currently employed (at corporate America)? If that is the case, I would think more than a few of them would be willing to ditch the cube and join a robust agency that is willing to provide a great opportunity to grow, learn, expand, and cross platforms if desired. The few I know are actually working as freelancers/consultants. I can applaud that, but that can’t be the case for all .NETers.

Hell, James Avery is attending Rails conferences and making posts about how .NET needs something like Rake. Is ASP.NET simply not getting the focus, is it behind on the times? Is it the cost? Are students not learning it? I’m not in the community so I don’t have an inside track. Startups aren’t using .NET, at least not any that I can think of. Someone has to have a clue here? Any .NET developers out there willing to join a team of passionate developers and willing to be an enthusiast for the platform (and explain to this “open” developer the thinking of the .NET community)?

and here: https://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/1752

The description is general, but that is a good thing. We aren’t locked into a platform. We support clients on all platforms. Sometimes we suggest a technology and other times the client has a platform in place. At this time, we have work on all platforms and just need another all-around skilled developer. It’s open to everyone. If you’re a developer and think you can handle agency life and a very creative environment, then apply. We’re looking for good people and we’ll try and not hold it against you if you prefer .NET over open source. 8-)

Sweetwater, here in Fort Wayne, is looking for a Web Designer. Their previous designer apparently flew the coop for sunny, warm weather in San Diego. Can’t say that I blame them considering our -4 degree days here recently. But seriously, this is a cool job. Sweetwater is a large complex, national recording studio, and supply warehouse. This gets you into the music biz. Not too mention, the Web director over there is knowledgeable guy as well. (He and I both graduated with the same degree from the same university). If you are interested in northeast Indiana, check it out.
