I like it so far. Big companies (or, well, MSFT at least) are much better about work-life balance than your usual startup and, in my opinion, much less cult-like (this is up for debate, I'm sure).

And I've only been here a month + a week!

I do like working on NuGet, and I do like that MSFT, unlike a small company like NPM, actually has the resources to staff its open source development teams such that we have the headcount we need to achieve cool things, instead of making us scramble for dear life.

I'm glad you found a place to work on open source at a sustainable pace with resources+help.

Hope you stay @ MS for a while and make NuGet awesome! (Also... Maybe help out the f# peeps with their paket xD I'm legit confused about how I'm supposed to use F# community things that are both on paket and NuGet; are they the same?).

I'm pretty sure they're separate projects!
