I'm with you. I really like the concept of their product and would be interested in using it. I applied a while ago but bowed out during the phone screen. There were a couple strange things that came up during the short call but there was one that wasn't forgivable. The post was clearly for a rust developer but they were upfront that they don't have any rust and are primarily a go shop. He said they put rust in the job title because it helps attract smart, passionate people.
It really put me off. I’m not dead set on developing in any given language. I like rust and have been working with it for a while but that isn’t a deal breaker for me. The thing is that if our introduction starts off with dishonesty I don't have any reason to expect it to get better from there. What will they mislead me about after I’m hired?
- schemingguild 5y agoRoles shouldnt be put up as rust, but there is clearly rust in the github repository. Its not a lot but my understanding is the usage is somewhat growing. https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/search?l=rust https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/search?l=rust
- stusmall 5y agoAccording to the gitlogs this conversation happened about a year before those were added. We talked about this pretty point blank. It was made clear that while they might use rust in the future and they had rust fans internally, it was a go position.
- schemingguild 5y agoAh right, that sucks
- dijit 5y agoFWIW I had the same experience with Embark Studios. (Game Dev in Stockholm that prides themselves on doing gamedev in rust.) Applied for a rust job. Got a Go coding assessment. Was told that the job was Go based.
