Long live to GotDotNet

Note: this entry has moved.

From one of the developers behind GDN:

Btw, Did i tell you how cool and powerful .Net is and the way it lends itself to building reliable production quality applications.

It's absolutely new to me that a platform by itself "lends" to such reliable and production quality applications. I thought you had to study, read patterns for reliable software design, test and design for performance from the start...
Judging from these words, it seems I've been using a site that isn't GDN... and all those badly designed, buggy, slow-as-a-dog, prototype-quality (at best) .NET apps I see every now and then are just an illusion...
