Too often I hear hiring managers complain that they cannot find good candidates for XYZ specific language. This is the most annoying thing in programming. A good developer can get up to speed with a language in a few weeks. I have and I have had teams go from zero to building full platforms in a new stack. Programming is mainly breaking down problems, creating solutions and then implementing them. The coding is just the end result.
- datascienced 2y agoYou want some experienced people with runtime platform knowledge in the team. For example async and thread semantics, common failure cases, best ways to do typing etc.
- europeanNyan 2y agoIf you are at the point where you are looking for additional Rails (or whatever) developers, you already hopefully have people with runtime platform knowledge in the team.
- datascienced 2y agoYes for sure. The danger is in building out new teams of people learning on the job.
