I think they are talking about picking up unfamiliar tools and languages that are reasonably close to their existing skillset rather than 'learning to code'.

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoMaybe, evaluating a dev is tricky, judging them on soft skills alone would lead to many false positives and negatives.
- WalterSear 9y agoSure. I think the parent is implying that this evaluation is what is flawed, and overly driven by a focus on the superficial layers of technology. So, for instance, a Reactjs developer fresh out of bootcamp gets considered over a veteran Angular developer, 'because they know React.'
