The Jack-of-all-trades Fallacy
- hugh4life 14y ago"Almost every CV I see at Empirical Magic highlights the candidates ability to develop Android and iOS Apps. These almost always end up getting deleted." I agree 100% to be wary of "Jack-of-all-trades", but it's perfectly reasonable for someone to specialize in mobile development... i.e. native iOS and Android mobile development. Now, if they load up their resume with a bunch of other crap then I'd push it aside.
- rjstelling 14y agoI'd argue for a management, design or testing roll specialising in "mobile development" is fine, even a benefit. But for developers it makes no sense, an average Android developer makes a terrible iOS developer and vice versa. A 100% iOS dev is going to be 50% better (at least) than one that splits their time between 2 (or 3) platforms.
