I know it's usually that, but it's at least nice to see them trying to figure out what motivates people.
I'm still much more likely to bite if they actually say straight out what a few of those problems are instead of spewing a list of every library used in their stack and asking for 5+ years experience with them when better than half haven't been around for more than two. If it's legitimately interesting work, I'll happily learn any and all tools necessary to do it.
- bluedanieru 15y agoThe magic word in your post is interesting. Everyone has hard problems to solve, and most of the time those hard problems are borne of stupid decisions made 5 years ago by people who don't work there anymore. Then perpetuated by people currently working there who will, as pointed out, completely defeat at least half your efforts to make any actual useful progress. I work on hard and challenging problems, which are by no means interesting, and I've often contemplating throwing myself out of a window just to experience some new shit :-) If you have interesting work, let's talk, but you probably don't.
