The key thing for me is that he seemed to specialize as a frontend but ended up as a full stack with a slight backend bias. If you want to be a frontend, ending up full stack with a bias for backend is not optimal.
- eberkund 5y agoMost companies I have worked at have many more backend devs than they do frontend devs. There may be an issue with the number of jobs and number of applicants not being equal for both roles.
- MattGaiser 5y agoWell yes, but I would not be happy as a frontend dev scammed into working backend due to recruiters not finding enough other people.
- astura 5y agoERB templates ARE frontend,he just lacks the knowledge and experience to know that. Shows why he wasn't hired as a senior engineer.
- norman784 5y agoI want to disagree with you, he seemed to specialize in JS, in his post he mentioned that almost 50% of the time he worked in erb that's the rails template to produce html, or the "new fancy" term that JS developers call server side rendering. So frontend is focused on whatever produces something visible to the user, most of the time html, others can be jsx or whatever the frontend template is being used. I think this shows why he was not hired as senior, he's lack of experience/knowledge in the area.
