I'm actually not interested (at least not primarily interested) in that. I'm more interested in what are you building? What problems are you solving?
Same for me. I can learn whatever tech stack you're using (if need be). I want to know about your business, your product, your future.
- Existenceblinks 5y agoBut tech stack requirements sit right there in job descriptions. It's about matching.
- taylodl 5y agoYes they do, but the question is should they? What role should they be playing?
- Existenceblinks 5y agoThey shouldn't, though they have few choices. They don't want to admit they chose the wrong tools for the problems, and can we disagree with them .. generally.
- lkxijlewlf 5y agoI generally disregard those requirements if it's a job/domain/business I find interesting. Current gig had requirements I didn't have. And now we have completely different ones from when I was hired.
- Existenceblinks 5y agoIt's not well-known nor standard, maybe companies should change how they write job description.
