As someone who has used GIT a fair amount over the last 15 years, it has literally one of the worst developer experiences, right up there with C, python’s package management, cuda kernel development or shader debugging, ffmpeg, Scala, MongoDB, and Rust. All of those tools are very useful in todays world but they’re not necessary to do the job,and unless I’m specifically hiring for that skillset I wouldn’t ding anyone who didn’t know them.
- poincaredisk 2y agoI'm probably weird, because I like git, C, Python package management, and Rust. I dislike MongoDB and don't really know the rest
- cbm-vic-20 2y agoSure, but among those things you listed, source control systems are fundamental to working on projects with other people. If a candidate hasn't encountered any source control system (not just git), you should seriously consider what it will take to train this person on not just the tooling, but the concepts as well.
