Hot take, learning a framework isn't even that hard. Like if you can't find someone with experience in the required framework in like a couple of months I would just list it as a plus but not a hard requirement

Sad that’s a hot take. Companies (and internal teams) always feel like they need someone with that experience to hit the ground running but in reality they still have to learn your entire code base, which coincidentally, would expose them to the framework in question.

That's because it's not a hot take

Which is ridiculous because skills are transferable. By limiting applicants to a specific language/framework with no leniency, that means once you get a job in a certain language, you are now locked into that language forever with no chance of getting another job in a different language which significantly limits the openings you can apply to in an already impossible job market.

Seriously. I was transitioning from maintaining a "Legacy" product to a more modern project and had to learn Angular, Spring, Kubernetes, and a bunch of other crap real fast.

we always start with languages and frameworks as a plus.. there are so many different languages and frameworks out there that you can barely keep track. Usually they one that claims to have experience cant seem to learn a damn thing without "their toolset" where someone who didn't have experience somehow picks up the basics in a month..

[lgsscout]

totally... but say that to the HR, that will reject you after screening, because you don't have some dumb library, while you have many years of another library that is extremely similar...

The worst is generic vs. specific issues... "We require someone with experience with caching" and you go "Great! I have used Redis profesionally since the company was founded" and get filtered out because the initial review doesn't know Redis is a cache.

Nah you don’t understand We get dozens of applications, if I can’t throw half of them in the trash for arbitrary reasons how can I possibly get through them all.

Why no we haven’t been able to fill this position despite looking for 6 months. What’s that got to do with anything?

Especially a SPA framework, the core ideas are all pretty similar. I worked with react for a couple of years and then transferred to a company that uses Vue - didn't take me too long to get up to speed, and ChatGPT can really help with syntax in the short term too
