How did you guys get your first C# job?
Started programming by writing some apps for Windows Phone later UWP during university. A few years ago I started collaborating a lot on GitHub to some Microsoft projects, like the Windows Community Toolkit. There I created a lot of new APIs and libraries, like all the new animation APIs and pipeline brush APIs, etc. I then also proposed adding some general .NET APIs to it, and that's how the MVVM Toolkit was born, along with other libraries which are now moved to the .NET Community Toolkit. Fast forward until about late 2020, and they pinged me saying the new Microsoft Store (which hadn't been announced yet back then) was using several of those new APIs I had written, so we started collaborating more so that I could add more functionality they needed. After that shipped, at some point there was a new opening to which I applied, and here I am in the Microsoft Store team and also leading the .NET Community Toolkit 🙂

Does anyone here have a long background with Java before switching/using C#? What caused you to switch and what do you miss about Java that C# doesn't have?
For instance, recently Chaochao opened a PR for the Windows Community Toolkit to open source the whole custom animation helpers he developed for the Store, which are used to implement the morphing animations you see when scrolling in a product page. You can see a GIF and the whole code here and in the linked PR.

Where is the source for Microsoft.Toolkit.MVVM?
Specifically I am looking for AsyncRelayCommand.cs. All documentation points to CommunityToolkit repo but I can not find it there. Link to source repo from the Nuget package also points to CommunityToolkit. I am not looking for samples.

Improve C# code performance with Span<T>
That's interesting. It will need some documentation and to finish the renaming at some point, e.g. Span2D is in https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit but as you say doesn't require Windows.
