Learning a specific technology for a single project may have a short half-life. However, good coders aren't defined by tech knowledge, but by their deep understanding. If you can make great presentations in Powerpoint, everyone knows you'll still make good presentations in Google Slides.
- sjm 1y agoExactly. It's like the difference between thinking about tech proficiency in terms of "being good at C++" vs. being good at software engineering and being language agnostic.
- nottorp 1y agoNot really, there are quite a few organizations that won't hire you unless you have 15 years experience in Google Slides exactly.
- dakiol 1y agoGood engineers can easily change “power point” for “google slides” as needed in their cvs.
- graemep 1y agoI am not sure about that example. A lot of people learn to use a specific piece of software and memorise how to do stuff and are therefore confused by the slightest difference.
