Odd question, but as a .NET developer myself

Mountaineering, climbing, bouldering, going to gigs, playing pool, running, music festivals, gaming, photography, watching F1, watching NBA, eating out with friends...

I'm not sure what the point of the question was ?

Ah, well, obviously the point of the question was to be odd for oddness's sake, as some form of bizarre, self-inflatory social ploy!

I couldn't possibly have intended my question as a straightforward request for information about something, now could I?

That would just be weirdy-weird, if people started asking each other questions for the purpose of receiving answers.

Thanks for answering though.

The reason I thought it was odd was that I've never seen any correlation between someones hobbies outside of work and what tech stack they use at work.

That's OK. I keep seeing a correlation between people's proneness to be like

and which tech stacks they feel more comfortable with.
