You don't understand what pigeonholing really means.
When programmers talk about pigeonholing it usually means they like Python and want to go at Python conferences where people talk about math, science and machine learning, but they are pigeonholed in Java EE and surrounded by people who only talk about POJOs and beans.
And to top it all off, Java experience is badly regarded in Python tech companies and long term pigeonholing usually cuts you off from the world you want to be in.
- philipmorg 12y ago"they like Python and want to go at Python conferences" What prevents them from doing this?
- csixty4 12y ago$1500 ticket prices and employers that won't pay unless it's directly related to the work you do?
- philipmorg 12y agoI see--thank you! I was thinking of this more from the independent consultant's perspective, not the FTE viewpoint.
- csixty4 12y agoOh yeah, that's one thing I miss from being independent. "Conference"? You mean "tax deduction"!
- crazypyro 12y agoJobs that don't let (or help) developers go to conferences that appear to be of little immediate or long-term business value.
