> Every once in a while, I'll be interviewing a candidate who starts waxing lyrical about how rewriting everything in today's flavour of JavaScript really helped their last company. Or how their bosses were impressed with what this cool new bit of tech can do. Or why they could never work anywhere which didn't use this specific code editor.
I do sometimes wonder if this is how popular frameworks, etc get ... um... popular. Not that I think there's a "Fronk" doing it, but, well, many Fronks.
- mmcdermott 5y agoA lot of conference talks are little more than marketing. So you work at a big-ish company and either write or evangelize your framework there first, then give a talk about it that advertises its benefits. The idea of doing this through interviews is painfully slow by comparison to the number of people that will listen to a talk or a user group presentation and send links to it later.
