No top 50 CS program teaches these tech. No unicorn uses them. Not a single FAANG or FANNG+ if you include other large players.
Finally, no engineering-centric company uses these tech. That's the difference between learning Go vs COBOL.
- pjmlp 6y agoThat is a very tiny employment market. There are only a couple of FAANG+, with crazy hiring practices, and most businesses aren't engineering centric, the world is bigger than that.

- pjmlp 6y agoMost RandomBigCo just sees any kind of software development as a cost center, and eventually outsources it, to keep their focus on selling their actual products, while some else writes CRUD applications for stock management.
