I think these companies know how to hire for their tech stack. I once had a job that was all Lotus script (VB basically) and Java with Domino. They just mention that's a plus but not required. They already know that no one has experience with that tech stack.
The other problem with this is let's say you need someone with GQL experience. And everyone in the company knows it. It's not that hard to pick up, but when you get a senior that DOESNT know it... they tend to just grumble about it and want REST instead. It's sometimes better to hire what you know you need.
- victor9000 5y agoA good Sr Engineer knows that you don't change things just because you don't like how it's being done. Every change comes with risk and one's personal preference is not enough reason to justify the added risk.
- rhacker 5y agoI wasn't thinking the risk was that the tech stack would change. The risk is that this new hire will generally try to avoid GQL (for example) as much as possible.
