Your post reminds me of a segment[0] of a Pycon keynote where Jacob Kaplan Moss talks about "real programmers". One of the anecdotes was that he was hiring programmers and he stumbled on a student who had worked on a project who told him she can't apply because she "isn't really a programmer". >I've asked them to help me bring myself up to date on good techniques Here's an old draft of our onboarding document[1], and a few comments here on HN about this[2]. PS: in case anyone is wondering how I found the segment in question, I use a Chrome extension called "YouTube Captions Search"[3] went to the video, activated closed captions, clicked on the extension's icon, and searched for "geographic" because I remembered that the system the student had built was a geographic information system (GIS). - [0]: https://youtu.be/iOp0mSDCh6c?t=1084 https://youtu.be/iOp0mSDCh6c?t=1084 - [1]: https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/hiring/#resources-to-learn-our-stack https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/hiring/#resources-to-learn-o... - [2]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15576496 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15576496 - [3]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-captions-search/kimbeggjgnmckoikpckibeoaocafcpbg?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-captions-s...
