This is me. Exactly. That’s why I would never be able to work for FAANG.
- azangru 4y ago> That’s why I would never be able to work for FAANG. I sincerely doubt FAANG has no use for regular web developers, or that web developers there need to know C++ internals of Node.
- wildrhythms 4y agoThe first part of that quote that you omitted alludes to Datadog (not a FAANG) looking for a C++ dev which the author later admits they are not. Why did the author apply to the job knowing they would be unprepared? FTA: >They needed a JavaScript master AND C++ developer who could contribute to Node.js core on DataDog’s behalf. They needed a specialist. Alas, that wasn’t me. I had worked with frontend, backend, serverless, mobile, even graphic design and UX. But not exclusively with Node.js core
- ghaff 4y agoWell, companies post lots of requirements that they aren't necessarily wed to. (Though I would have thought a hard requirement for C++, if that wasn't on their resume, wouldn't have passed an initial screen.)
