You say you refuse to learn them. If you're not going to learn their technology what use can you possibly be?

- dman 16y agoWhile interviewing recently I realized that I was spending ~20 hours per interview picking up pieces of the software stack that I haven't worked with before. The cognitive burden that a candidate has to bear is very real.
- daemin 16y agoI think he means that he's not going to learn it himself independently because he doesn't use it for work, and he's learning/using other technologies for his personal projects. And all technologies are more useful to him currently than the one's for building billion visitors/month sites.
- igorgue 16y agoYes sir, you're right! I love learning new things, but to be honest I don't find a good use case for e.g. Hadoop, at least not in my personal projects. Nor they are attractive to me. And it's not because I'm not into non-mainstream tech, because I am into R, Haskell, Redis (yes I know some of you might consider them mainstream). Lets say you don't have a super-model-girlfriend but you want to know everything about them... Some people like to do that I don't.
