  • CEO said that forgiving bills for this kind of a thing is a standard practice, but how come this was the customer support’s first reaction:

    We normally discount these kinds of attacks to about 20% of the cost, which would make your new bill $20,900. I’ve currently reduced it to about 5%, which is $5,225.

    If the customer support has authority to give 20%/5% discounts, this seems to me like the standard practice, and the CEO is probably just doing damage control because this became public.








  • I’ve tried a few different packages before, including the ones you mentioned. However, in the end, I decided to build my own data structures. It was actually pretty fun to create them based on my own preferences, and I learned a lot about functional concepts along the way.

    But to be honest, I rarely use them nowadays. The thing is, C# wasn’t really designed to be a functional language from the start. So while I could incorporate some functional concepts, the implementation never quite matched up to what you would find in a true functional language. Plus, the language can be pretty verbose, which kind of gets in the way.

    This experience was a couple of years ago though, and I know that C# has improved a lot since then. So it’s definitely possible that my experience today would be different.
