This is good advice, except....A lot of recruiters and managers aren't terribly focused on results and the quality of software. They often want to see a resume that looks like a word cloud of tech trends and buzzwords. A lot of developers would be happy to stick to "boring tech that works", but are afraid of being labeled as some dinosaur who's resistant to change and won't learn new things. Until recruiters and hiring managers stop rewarding mindless novelty over things that work, we're all going to be awash in mindless novelty.
- fmajid 5y agoIt's usually not managers who are chasing the latest buzzword but employees who don't want to be stuck with legacy technologies. The elephant in the room is that most technologies fail to gain traction and employees understand they have to curate their resume to maintain relevance and employability. All too often technologies are chosen to appease that, not based on a clear-headed assessment of the benefits and risks.
