What are you hiring for? JavaScript doesn't just mean frontend. I am much more interested in how people pick up new tech and interesting projects than the spec

What are you hiring for? JavaScript doesn't just mean frontend.
I am much more interested in how people pick up new tech and interesting projects than the specifics of the language. With modern libraries and frameworks I don't think you need deep experts in particular languages anymore
- kristianp 3y ago> JavaScript doesn't just mean frontend. I would assume they know that. There are plenty of projects that don't have nodejs backends.
- willsmith72 3y ago> I do believe getting real-world backend experience greatly increases your value This would imply they don't or they don't value it nearly as much
- bwh2 3y agoAgreed. That was the point of my comment - there is an abundance of developers who just work in JS/TS/React and have not picked up new technologies. Adding C#, Java, SQL, etc. helps your marketability.
