I'm curious why you wouldn't consider those people just because their existing experience doesn't 100% overlap your tech stack? Could they not be trained on how to write backend .net? Wouldn't the diversity of experience be helpful for your team?
- mettamage 3y agoYep they could but companies usually don't do it. I've done it. OOP is OOP, there are only different flavors. I wonder to what extent an OOP person would be able to do a Haskell job (or a similar functional language).
- scarface_74 3y agoAnyone can learn a language. The .Net framework and the related ecosystem is huge. I’ve done front end work maybe a decade ago, I still do backend JavaScript and I know the basics of web technologies. But anyone would be a fool to hire me if they wanted a front end developer. Even if I knew Java that doesn’t mean I could just jump in and start doing Android development.
- mettamage 3y agoI remember jumping in and doing Spring Boot. I knew Java. It went well, it helped that I knew about NodeJS and Django.
