Having less time to "learning new stuff to stay relevant" makes us de-facto less hirable. The "github" thingy is just a proxy (as is the "whiteboard CS exercise").
- virgilp 9y agoI actually do learn new stuff. While on the current job, I've been doing: - Code-hinting (semantic analysis) in an IDE - Product management - Low-level JIT codegen & optimisation (for ARM Neon & Intel SSE) - Some datascience (technology/ product evaluation for a 8-digit aquisition) - One of the early contributors to a web standard - Distributed systems, bigdata (mostly graph-processing at quite big scale - Facebook-big) and probably other stuff I can't remember right now. I worked in half dozen different programming languages. I'm pretty sure I've "stayed relevant" more than the average Joe, but you wouldn't know it from github.
