It's a reasonable hypothesis that there's probably a correlation with when someone started programming. Both editors and languages are "sticky" tool choices in that way.
FYI, I think there's a free version of PyCharm (Community Edition).
- hashkb 9y agoI used TextMate and then Sublime for the first half of my 10 year career. It took seeing a coworker use vim to sell me on it, and within two weeks I was a better text editor than ever before. You all know the rest of the story, but I'm one counterexample to the "how long have you been coding?" angle. I was meant to discover these editors even though I'm relatively young. (31 heh)
- buxtehude 9y agoCurious if Triplebyte interviews for all of dev/ops/devops positions? Is there a higher/lower success rate in ops/devops vs pure development? For example vim is used extensively in ops/devops and emacs use there is quite rare. If there is a higher success rate in ops/devops and if vim is used more in ops/devops - could this influence the results shown? Fascinating data - thanks for sharing.
- Osmium 9y ago> FYI, I think there's a free version of PyCharm (Community Edition). I recently started using PyCharm CE over the last year and it really is a lovely IDE. I'm not surprised it works well in interviews, it makes it easy to get things done with minimum fuss.
