Hello All,<p>As you know, now days job description/requirements are so vague and includes so many things for just one role that it is hard to understand what is realistically needed or actually being used for that role in any organization. So this is one attempt to solve this puzzle, hopefully, with your help.<p>So maybe if you could write something on below format that would be helpful to everyone<p>Your Role/Title [1]:
Extensive Used technologies in last 24 months [2]:
Rarely/Sometimes used technologies in last 24 months [3]:<p>[1] For example: Senior Java Developer, Full Stack Developer etc...
[2] Almost every day or most days in week
[3] Not used in [2] but requires sometimes<p>Also one last question to this, if you could write job posting for your job today, what list of technologies bare minimum candidate must know to be successful in your job?<p>Thanks for your time. I hope it will help everyone to get realistic idea what is actually needed for any job :)
I'm the CEO of a two-men company (for now), and we're both software engineers:<p><pre><code> - Always used: Javascript/Typescript, GraphQL, Kubernetes, Tekton
- Often used: Go/Python, Hasura & PostgreSQL
- Rarely used: Elixir (we're planning to move our code-base to it, but that's not a priority)
</code></pre>
For a R&D job, I would require:<p><pre><code> - intensive experience with at least one language, ideally one we use
- some experience with a database, ideally PostgreSQL
- optionally some experience with Docker
- know how to use the shell and the terminal
</code></pre>
IMHO, languages are just different syntax for the same patterns, and a good dev should be able to apply them in any language. There is a learning curve of course, but if you're a senior Java developer, I believe you will not have a hard time learning Typescript/Python or Go.<p>I'm interested in how people think, debug, and solve problems, not in the amount of line of code they're able to write. In fact, I'd rather recruit someone able to remove code instead of adding more.
