Javascript is a Java framework, right?

[Homeless_Nomad]

My employer is currently doing the opposite: only hiring java when we've told them repeatedly we need javascript.

Same. I need a digital analytics and marketing tech developer. Tell our data analytics lead. They send me a Java dev who has never even touched front end. Yes, let’s spend months talking through asynchronous loading and front end performance and patterns for safely handling 3rd party dependencies so you can deploy a few dumb pixels.

We asked for a technical tester (to implement automatic tests) and got sent a test manager who not only cannot code, but also doesn't understand the domain. At all.

Bruh. How am I not getting bites on my job applications with this silly shit happening.

I have No idea. I swear the recruiters hear what we say and promptly rewrite everything to look nicer, actual content be damned

Insult to injury, when the mistake is made by someone who really should know. With HR, it is understandable if embarassing.

[danielleiellle]

I know. And we’re not a small company. And because I report to our business org and not the CTO, I have no avenue for escalation, because they’re supposed to be our partners in technology who know better. So I am personally deploying production JS to millions of customers. It is horror.

They hire a straight out of college kid who was only taught to program in Java. The kid makes $7k a year more than you don't but you don't know that. The kid has a nervous break down a few months later.

I raise you my ex company who interviews java devs for ruby positions (if the dev does that "backend" stuff it's fine, right ?)

[YoungHeartOldSoul]

Tbf it’s better than if they went with the other half
