- halfknot 9y agoSays someone that insinuates javascript is applicable to all forms of software engineering... This is what's really wrong with software engineering: we have young, cocky and mostly ignorant people doing the hiring. From CEO's riding daddy's coat-tails while trying to pretend to run a company, all the way to college grads that think their training as a flaming-hoop jumper is the pinnacle of engineering. You do this to yourselves.
- mattmurdog 9y agoTo say that it is not is also makes that person not hireable.

- mattmurdog 9y agoI can only speak about building web apps with Google. Replace ES6 with anything else.
- stochastic_monk 9y agoWhat you're trying to say, then, is that you need to stay up to speed with your discipline. That's fair. I think that the main solution to all of this is that you need to have skills with a long shelf life in addition to being up to speed on what's hot right now. Bringing up a new release of a language as being essential for any programmer is missing the point here.
