Well, with the suggested 1000 internal microservice calls per query it seems to be very brittle, esp. since 70% if those maintainers are now gone. Site will be up, but many features will be gone sooner or later. Which might be a good thing afterall.
Worst is the extreme dependency on Scala devs, whose only realistic job is at Twitter. Look for Scala dev jobs, they are only needed in Sunnyvale.
- cowpig 4y ago> Look for Scala dev jobs, they are only needed in Sunnyvale. [citation needed] In my experience Scala devs are in extremely high demand as it's a language of choice for a lot of high-performance server-side software like data pipelines and also for the kinds of large enterprises that previously primarily used Java.
- rurban 4y agoI"ve looked for Scala jobs in California and only one hiring company in Sunnyvale came up, which is 99% Twitter. Now I've searched again, this time on LinkedIn and this time also Apple (Cupertino) and some others showed up.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoYes, Scala is super high demand in fintech where Java is also king. Although I hope Kotlin catches on.
