At a large, well known software company, I worked with senior engineers, with a decade's more development experience than I, who couldn't use React properly, or even understand Redux. These are not difficult tools.
They had been working on the specific codebase for over a year, fwiw.

- platz 8y agoThey should learn to use React & understand Redux
- WalterSear 8y agoThey should be reading the fucking source code. Redux isn't big. But they are stuck in a rut. IMHO, from the outside, senior developer rut looks like a fear/resistance to change or learning. I'm not sure if what is really going on inside, though. Probably career burnout. I am the around same age as the guys I'm referring to here, fwiw. So, it's more than just physiological aging.
- firebones 8y agoOut of curiosity, what was their primary technology background before being expected to use/learn React?
