Fascinating, but what does it mean. I can dream up explainations, now after the fact, for this and the other interesting results in the article, but I wonder what the real reasons are?
For example, Eclipse is the standard University Java course editor. Users that have switched to IntelliJ have probably had more time away from University and hence more experience. Is this the reason, or is it a "just so story"?
- stupidcar 9y agoPerhaps, but a lot of teaching is done with Python nowadays, and Python has a positive pass-rate, and actually tops the on-site success rate. So it doesn't just seem to be a case of beginners getting rejected a lot. Based on my anecdotal evidence of interviewing Java devs, I'd suggest the problem is the opposite. While there are some excellent Java coders out there, there are also an awful lot of "experienced" devs, with fifteen years of experience and salary expectations to match, whose technical ability proves to be pretty miserable.
