I think this simplifies the truth too much. At least in my limited experience, you work in whatever language your team is working in.
- joshuamorton 8y agoDepends, I'm currently coding almost entirely in python, the guy behind me is using almost solely C++, and the person to my right is working solely in Java right now. Last week I was split heavily between python and javascript, but will likely write very little JS in the near future. At that point, another person on my team was working heavily in Go, although that is also finished now. Its not just "what your team works on", but what fits the task/what the existing tooling is in. If you're only working on a single product/project ("I develop the android app for XYZ product"), you likely work in the same language or two as the rest of your team. But that isn't always the case.
- outworlder 8y agoUsually, yes. But it does not mean that you should use a screwdriver to drive a nail just because that's what others are doing. They may be working with screws. In more practical terms, you are not going to write a cronjob in java just because that's what the main system is written in.
- yeeeeeeeeee 8y agoI think in this context "you" can be interpreted as "the team."
