I don’t think the word “common” should apply to one dude’s anecdote for one company.
It’s true that C++ is very large and everyone necessarily uses a dialect of it — their own unique dialect. But learning the STL, for example, would pay dividends in most C++ shops.
Outside of C++, this advice is pretty much completely inapplicable.
- bartvk 4y agoExactly. Some time ago, I used Qt at a job and thus I put "Qt (C++)" on my resume. That was not a good idea since like you said, Qt is its own "C++ dialect". Same goes for Python, but to a much lesser extend. I only used Python in embedded projects. A bit of byte manipulation, drawing some plots, etc. Later I got people asking me to help them with their Django-based website, expecting me to be productive from day 1.
