You're going to find the full range of talent regardless of which language you're using. Erlang doesn't guarantee godlike competence, and .NET doesn't guarantee mediocrity. I think your biases are showing a little here.
- tjogin 16y agoI never said anything about a guarantee. I'm just saying that if you want to hire a programmer, the fact that there are thousands and thousands more of .NET programmers doesn't make hiring any easier. You want quality, not quantity.
- wccrawford 16y agoActually, it does make hiring easier. It doesn't making hiring -good people- easier.
- tjogin 16y agoRight, and why would you want to make it easier to hire bad people?
- hdctambien 16y agoIt might be better to have an average programmer than no programmer at all.
- wccrawford 16y agoI've never been able to figure that out, and yet many companies continue to do it. Some mistaken belief that a filled seat is better than an empty seat or something.
