So what? You’re not never going to find one thing to learn for all time. Things change. The point is to get started and then follow the industry.
Who cares if what I do today is obsolete in a few years, by then I’ll be doing something different.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoDon't learn the language. Learn the fundamentals. The fundamentals remain constant.
- matte_black 9y agoTough to get hired on fundamentals these days.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoA lot of jobs out there only test you on fundamentals. Hackerrank questions allow you to pick whatever language you like.
- lmz 9y agoThat usually happens after the CV screening, no?
- matte_black 9y agoIn most jobs you will not get a foot in the door if all you claim to know is fundamentals. If you do not know the languages or frameworks they work in the interview is over as they are not going to spend the time training you. They want you to get in and be effective as soon as possible, not pay for your on the job training.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoPersonally I have found that this is relevant only for front end work. For the backend you just need rudimentary knowledge of a framework/language to get your foot in the door, then the actual testing is language agnostic.
- matte_black 9y agoMakes sense. Us front end guys are fairly expendable.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoDon't pigeonhole yourself into the frontend. Be language agnostic. Mastering the fundamentals allows you to transition across the stack.
