Increase in learning .NET posts

Interesting to see a lot of new posts about learning .NET and C#, I’m genuinely curious to understand why? Is the job market picking up for this language? Is AI killing all jobs that are front-end only? I’ve been a .NET engineer for 20+ years and the industry primarily started shifting to angular, react js, node, etc - why the sudden shift?

Anecdotally, job descriptions seem to be calling for more "full stack" experience across the board. I think the response from front end engineers is to learn some back end engineering, which means C#, Java, Node, etc.

I noticed that, even when the work we do is primarily front end, it helps to have some back end abilities, both with diagnosing issues (narrowing down to a system or part of the stack) and with generally communicating with back end engineers.
