My experience, both hiring and being hired, is the opposite. I have found that lists of required technologies are actually mild suggestions. We're probably both right, which implies that we're moving in interestingly different bubbles.
> Introverts may as well find another line of work, especially since you will in most cases be working cheek-by-jowl with your co-workers at long noisy tables
Again, our experience is completely different. I have always had my own desk.

Outside of your headphones on at your desk, you still need to be more social during work hours than it used to be (30 years ago). Meetings are a thing, standups are a thing. Having your own desk doesn't preclude this. What he means by "introvert" is an important question.
- CM30 8y agoNot ncessarily. There are companies with private offices like the old days, even if they're not the majority any more. There are companies where the atmosphere isn't meant to be all 'social' and sales people aren't sat in the same room as the programmers. And there are tons of companies who don't have many meetings, standups, etc. Hell, there are tons who don't make their programmers go to any. Just got to look around, maybe at smaller or less 'modern' companies if you want that sort of environment.
