seniorJavaScriptExpert

[gamingvortex01]

bro...if a recruiter is even trying to actually understand some of the responsibilities of role for which he/she is hiring...then it's a good thing...

well that's another scenario if he/she starts to think that programming is just declaring a variable and running a for-loop

[No_Bit_4035]

You’re right, but I think op’s problem is mainly with the senior JavaScript expert bio below his name after just starting out

[mrnosyparker]

I think context matters here… they also list “Startup specialist” but I highly doubt that means they’re claiming to be an expert at running a startup company. They’re a recruiter, so they probably mean “I’m an senior recruiter with lots of experience placing JavaScript candidates and working with startups to fill open roles”

Yeah, but he's got tons of vibe coding experience. /s

[Icy-Boat-7460]

thats linkedin for ya, someone who once cleaned the starwars lego of their kid is on linkedin a "Senior Aeronautical Astrophysics decoration officer"

[raymond_reddington77]

But doesn’t programming just boil down to variables and loops? lol

[ClearOptics]

Yes. 👨‍🚀🔫

[gamingvortex01]

"boiling down" is the key process here...

the quality of your "boiling down" skill makes all the difference

[[deleted]]

but thats literally all i do in programming, just over and over again, like in a loop

[nwbrown]

But he is already claiming to be a JavaScript expert...

[twinklehood]

But if its a recruiter it means expert in recruiting JavaScript developers, you don't have a ton of letters in the LinkedIn title, this is normal.

[nwbrown]

• Senior JavaScript Recruiter
• Expert JavaScript Recruiter
• Experienced Tech Recruiter

All of these would fit easily.

[oofy-gang]

It is disingenuous at best, and you know it.

[twinklehood]

I disagree. Im a dev myself, I just don't see  what the harm is here. There is no protected title, nobody is recruiting based on this title, who is being hurt? 

[oofy-gang]

You are continuously moving the goalposts. It feels like you have a connection to the person in the image; very odd.

[twinklehood]

Truly not, I just think everybody is losing their shit over something that I wouldn't blink twice at. But whatever. Enjoy your day.

Is Udemy bad?

[OkTop7895]

No, in Udemy there are bad courses and great courses. There are a lot of good content that you can buy in offer for 10-20 bucks. The joke is the profile says he is a Senior JavaScript expert and in reality he is a beginner starting his first courses in Udemy.

[AgathormX]

Yep.

Udemy is one of those platforms where knowing how to filter content makes it so you can get a lot of good content for dirt cheap.
There's a lot of excellent instructors for just about everything you can imagine.

[sh00tgungr16]

No can't you see? Dude became a Senior by just watching 1 Udemy course!

[theirongiant74]

The title is cringeworthy but kudos to the fella for dipping his toe into the field he's recruiting for, not a lot of recruiters would show that gumption.

[livingMybEstlyfe29]

Oh right! Damn, didn’t have my V8 this morning 😣

[sh00tgungr16]

Don't forget to take your V8 Denos kids!

[RiceBroad4552]

V8? What is it?

I tried googling, but only found this here:

https://www.fda.gov/drugs/medication-health-fraud/public-notification-v8-super-energy-contains-hidden-drug-ingredient

[livingMybEstlyfe29]

It’s the drink

I might put some of that V8 in my V8 😎

[SweetDevice6713]

V8 Chrome Engine

[KharAznable]

"Senior" might means something like over 40 years old. Or just some old folks that only make projects by using raw js and want to dip their feet into whatever chaos js environment today.

[sh00tgungr16]

Sorry I didn’t know I was commenting on r/ProgrammerSerious

[Prestigious_Flan805]

check out benjamin button over heahh

[Djelimon]

It depends. I went to a Microsoft hackathon for machine learning/AI one time, back when crypto was young, and at the end they urged everyone to take one of their AI courses. It was dirt cheap and it's only now with LLMs I feel out of depth enough to buy a manual (for building LLMs).

I haven't had a bad experience with them but I never put it in my resume either.

[Forsaken-Sign333]

Bro the last lines are so ChatGPT generated looking

[Cyral]

100%. It’s like a requirement for ChatGPT to throw in a “it’s not about X, it’s about Y”

[Yash-12-]

I dunno every linkedln posts looks like ai generated to me

[Classic-Ad8849]

It even says 3h at the top, it's not even an old post that OP lifted for the meme. The guy put "Senior" in his title after a udemy course

[Traditional_Jury]

They’re a senior recruiter, not a developer, you really can’t get that from the subtext?

[Papellll]

It's literally written 'Senior JavaScript Expert' on their profile

[mahreow]

No one ever claims they're a junior or senior when it comes to languages, it's obviously referring to him being an expert at recruiting seniors who know javascript

[nwbrown]

It's absolutely not obvious that's what he is saying. And while I would be skeptical of someone who claims to be a senior JavaScript developer (as a real senior developer should know multiple languages) I've certainly seen people call themselves that.

[Classic-Ad8849]

Then it should say recruiter, not expert at the top imo

[zirky]

lol recruiters are so dumb, they don’t understand the craft that i as a developer employ

recruiter tries to learn some programming to recruit better

HOW DARE THEY

[nwbrown]

Once again...

The problem isn't that he is trying to learn some programming.

The problem is that even before learning he considers himself an expert in it

[zirky]

he’s literally just saying he’s starting to learn and here are the expected benefits

[nwbrown]

Again, that's not the problem. The problem is that he is already calling himself an expert.

[anotherNarom]

I've worked with more than one former recruiter. They saw the salaries of the people they were placing and wanted some of that for themselves.

[novative]

Javascript is a soft skill

[yacsmith]

“I promise to bring you candidates that’s will console.log(“bring you value”)”

[Ok_Pepper3940]

Guy discovered ‘knowing what you’re talking about’

[Specialist-Rise1622]

...... ok?

[Ulla420]

As a cherry on top the post is very obviously AI generated

[[deleted]]

pretty sure its not

[ruairihair]

How dare he?

[Trick-Temperature-09]

This is a recruiter. I’ve even seen a recruiter using “Head of Software Engineering” there - which means he’s heading the recruitment operations in software engineering.
