That’s a difficult determination to make, but usually that’s the difference between someone who can walk me through the solution and stumble on the implementation, and someone who can’t explain to me what’s going on. Lots of this stuff is language agnostic, so I keep that in mind too. For example, a stacktrace is a stacktrace in any language. However, we usually don’t extend offers to folks doing things for the first time, as we need a quick ramp up. We generally don’t find it too big an ask for engineers to be familiar with the basics of Spring, or can SSH into and debug remote boxes. If someone doesn’t know this, they’re generally a college grad. Otherwise, unfortunately, it’s not the talent we’re looking for.
