"Microsoft dropped Xamarin like a hot potato in recent years and has instead moved its focus on Machine Learning."

I don't think you thought this one through friend. Makes no meaningful sense.

Notice how many people you triggered by this weird statement.

.NET Core and C# developers are potentially the most valuable in the market with Xamarin.Forms in the Microsoft arsenal.

As a business, it makes sense not to hire single trick ponies (native only, mobile only, web only etc.) and instead invest in upskilling my .Net/C# team to target a plethora of platforms with the mature Microsoft tech stack.

Xamarin is very mature and actually outperforms Flutter/React in many ways, and even native platforms in certain aspects. You read that right. Google is your friend to confirm.

Happy new year to all 🥳🥳🥳
