That's what you got out of the article?
Obviously it's just highlighting a single interesting correlation.
Wow someone is going to learn an editor thinking it will help he/she interview better?
- FLUX-YOU 9y agoCreate enough FUD around the technical interview and you'll always get people trying different things to improve their chances with these kinds of approaches. I can't count how many people have assumed I'm good just because I can drop technical words intelligently into a conversation, so there's also going to be some lazy folks looking for vim/emacs usage and judging someone's abilities to be a bit higher because of that.
- mulmen 9y agoTechnical interviews are just about knowing the right dance moves. If coding fizzbuzz in ruby using vim is more likely to get a good job than doing the same in perl using sublime I'm going to learn just enough ruby and vim to complete the interview. This is especially true when the company you are interviewing with posts a blog with their selection bias clearly spelled out.
- jordache 9y agoI don't think anyone beliefs companies out there are interviewing for competency in legacy text editors.
- mulmen 9y agoVIM and Emacs both have commits to their codebases in the last 48 hours. Sublime released a new major version earlier this month. None of these can be considered legacy. This is an article about the correlation between these text editors and interviews.
