She is anybody but a polyglot programmer.
So this thing the author writing about is common misconception. Yeah, if know some mainstream(ish) languages and can do some common tasks you will unlikely have problems doing some common tasks in another ruby-java-python. Now go write me something rock solid in Erlang. Or (oh boy you better forget your java) Haskell.
- atmosx 13y agoNot to mention that to many rubyists, pythonistas or Javaneze 1 and 2 years of experience, is like saying that you just learned the language. I use ruby ~ 3 years, not professional but more than 5 hours per week and I can say that I don't consider myself a pro or advanced in any way. There are huge parts of the language that eludes me, even in things/frameworks/situations that I have successfully used/implemented.
