There are also developers who view Java as the one true programming language who are either unwilling or unable to learn anything else. I know they exist because I've worked with many over the years. Javascript seems to be accumulating people of a similar mindset these days as well.
Filtering these clowns out should be rather simple (make sure their resume mentions at least a few different languages and ask the right questions during a phone screen), but most companies aren't willing to expend the effort.
- softawre 10y agoJavaScript has both the "JS can do everything" folks and the "JS was a terrible mistake, only idiots use it" folks.
- efaref 10y agoHow about "JS was a terrible mistake that can do everything"?
- carterehsmith 10y agoTrue. One should also be vary of the other extreme: There are people that switch their favorite language every three months, and insist that they use the latest one for their day job. If you allow it, it may lead to lot of wasted time, small wars within your team, and so on.
