The story we’re used to hearing is that women get paid less than men. In Google’s case, according to its own internal pay audit, it turned out male-identified Level 4 Software Engineers received less money than women in that same role. That led to Google paying $9.7 million to adjust pay for 10,677 employees. Turnabout is fair play?

The problem may stem from trying to pay equal pay for equal work and equal pay across genders. Both cannot happen unless you have a one-to-one relationship or everyone gets the exact same pay.

The problem with the oft-touted pay disparity figures is they never actually clarify (with the exception of Google in this thread) what it is they actually compared.
Average pay of all women in all jobs vs all men in all jobs? - pure Bull-Turd
Average pay of two people in the same job and with employer? - very proper
Jobs that were "equated" by someone, somewhere, as equal? - more Bull-Turd
And the data that's typically used is the one that allows the person to go on TV and prove their point to an audience that already wants to believe

I agree. Even two people in the same job may start out the same and drastically change due to talent, efficiency, and workload.

I'm not talking about advancement. I'm just talking about salary. I know many people who do more than most of the rest of the team combined. If they get paid more, then they've earned it. Gender is not the issue.
As for advancing, what you said is also true for some. But I'm just talking about people in the same work category.

Hehe, thanks for mentioning me - yes and no. Yes, always makes me happy to share my thoughts (otherwise I would not blog), however, no I would rather wish for ASP.NET Core to become a little bit more lightweight (and the tooling to become better).
Anyway, I think with VS 2019 (at least after a couple of sessions) it seems that tooling is now definitely on the right track and .NET Core 3 was also a good step in the right direction. Let's see where this is going...

I've been using ASP.NET Core 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 for over a year and haven't run into anywhere near the issues this guy has. It's not perfect, but it's a massive improvement on what's already out there.

I've been using .Net Core for the last 2 years. 2.0 was a big step forward.
The biggest issues I've had are dealing with dependencies, and with updates to libraries coming out very frequently, it can be a bit of a minefield, but other than that my experience has been almost entriely positive.
