I have seen the resume padder on many occasions, and have had to clean up after they left. It's amazing to see a team become visibly happier with their day job when you move to sensible foundations based on sound reasoning.
The teams that were the most efficient, and happiest with their day to day were the ones which picked frameworks with good documentation, a plethora of online resources, and ignored the latest shiny toy on the market.
- hinkley 4y agoWhat's amazing is how often people have to see it to believe it. One of my running jokes/not jokes is that one day I'm going to hire a personal trainer, but then instead of having them train me, I'm just going to ask them a million questions about how they convince people who have never been 'in shape' how good it's going to feel when they are. Because that's what it often feels like at work.
- robocat 4y agoWouldn’t it be an engineer’s hell working at a place that employs based on resumes from resume driven developers? You learn the latest shiny tech, then change jobs to a new company using your sparkling resume, self-selecting for companies that like the beautiful sparkles in your resume, then you get to work with other like-minded sparkle tech lovers. At what companies do resume padders end up in? Quote from elsewhere in thread: “Whatever is the new thing, jump on it hard and fast like your life depends on it.”
