- grey-sunshine 9y agoIgnore them.
- hyperbovine 9y agoSample size one in a forum...
- andars 9y agoI do not see how sample size has any relevance. There was no claim.
- corndoge 9y agosounds like a great way to weed out companies you don't want to work for "I see you choose x but I would say the appropriate choice here was clearly y due to Z" "I see your hiring process is flawed, good-bye!"
- thinkxl 9y agoAs long as you understand idioms, programming paradigms in general, and good patterns in specific languages (e.g. list comprehension in python, prototypal inheritance in js, metatables in lua, etc.) you shouldn't be afraid of showing off your stuff in X language. I know good Java developers that have become really good front-ends.
- versteegen 9y agoWell Java doesn't have a stigma attached to it like COBOL or BASIC does. What about those of us who have terrible QBASIC code they wrote when they were 14 on their github/bitbucket/etc profiles? I'm not going to hide that; it's public because it's useful. (I intend to dig up more terrible code I wrote and put it up)
- sbierwagen 9y agoIf someone chooses FORTRAN for a web app of their own free will, then not only should they not be hired, but they should be executed.
