I read long ago that having a porn site on your resume was a pretty strong black mark with non-porn companies, even if you were a developer. Since there's so little crossover an experience sharing between mainstream developers and porn site developers, porn site engineering tended to be relatively sub par. My guess is few high caliber developers go into porn site engineering.
- lozenge 8y agoSurely it depends which site - the big sites have serious scale and engineering challenges which will outweigh the seediness aspect while the vast majority of sites are just a CMS paired with a payment processor integration.
- sontek 8y agoDefinitely not true. I think every developer understands that porn is pushing the limits of technology. If I saw someone coming from any of the big sites I'd definitely be interested in what they worked on. Every hiring manager I know only cares about what you worked on, not who you worked for.
