Was your prompt just "I want a simple crud webapp" and that's the extent of it? There's absolutely no way you included the words "python", "flask", or "sqlite" and it still went with a Microsoft stack.

You could have just added “flask SQLite stack” to whatever prompt you added. Just those three words, randomly somewhere in your prompt.

Dotnet minimal APIs plus mssql is fine for simple crud apps… I would do Postgres, but that’s me.

Swapping mssql to SQLite would also work perfectly

> insane techstack involving C#, Razor Pages, MSSQL

Is a very sane tech stack, you're just biased against Microsoft.

Half the world's enterprise apps run on that combination, or a minor variation of it.

Like Java it is full featured ("batteries included") but unlike Java it is relatively terse and actually pleasant to work with.

Oh, and unlike Python, it is very fast, within spitting distance of compiled Rust and C++ web apps.

There are a million and one reasons to be biased against Microsoft, regardless of the fact that C# tech stack is decent

Correct I'm biased against technologies that only run on a single OS for no benefit to the user.

ASP.NET runs on MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

Microsoft SQL Server now (also) ships as a Docker container that runs on Linux.

Do you ever use software that only works on Linux?

Do you use an Android phone?

.NET has not been a particularly Windows specific framework for almost a decade now.
