Java is poison for the mind
Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 19•7 months agoWhy do people feel this way?
I’m genuinely curious as I’d think having a wider swathe of coding experience would be a good thing wouldn’t it?
I don’t work in fields that use coding expertise, I drive a forklift so I’m out of my wheel house when it comes to coding.
Transtronaut ( @Transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 21•7 months agoNot sure either. Best guesses are a combination of elitism, ignorance, preconceptions, groupthink, and insincere memeing.
Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 12•7 months agoNGL if I saw a job listing that said, “Don’t have experience in a specific field,” I wouldn’t apply even if I didn’t have experience in the field specified because my assumptions for why they’d say that basically are the reasons you said.
Or that they would want someone they could under pay for the position, but that’s more specific for what the job is and what they don’t want you to know beforehand.
Edit: Fixed wrong wording
PaperTowel ( @PaperTowel@lemm.ee ) 10•7 months agoJava in a large way has been eclipsed by most other languages, and developers kind of have a way of making fun of old technologies, like a lot of the same jokes are made about PHP which is still very popular but outdated. In reality Java is also still incredibly popular and knowing it is certainly a benefit. It’s just a collective joke.

Troy ( @troyunrau@lemmy.ca ) 32•7 months agoMaybe they want to avoid java coding patterns. FactoryFactoryGenerator kind of stuff. Maybe they want to teach their own java coding patterns and want someone coming in with a blank slate so they don’t have to unlearn habits. Maybe they’re tired of diploma mill programmers applying and are using this as a resume filter tripwire.
Dieguito 🦝 ( @DieguiTux8623@feddit.it ) 16•7 months agoLike in the old days “No previous exposure to FORTRAN” required.
riwo ( @riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 9•7 months agoreading this just gives me the biggest imposted syndrom and reminds me of how underqualified for any job i feel, even after my software development apprenticeship
_NoName_ ( @JayDee@lemmy.ml ) 9•7 months agoGit hygiene is important for avoiding Git-Transmitted Infections (GTIs) such as Vim
edinbruh ( @edinbruh@feddit.it ) 5•7 months agoOnce I asked a professor to participate in a project. So he interviewed me and asked me about my skills, as they do, and one of the questions was “do you know oop? Java?”, me: “just the basics”, him: “even better”.
bitwolf ( @bitwolf@lemmy.one ) 2•7 months agoWait… Can you send me this job listing OP? 😅
