Why 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.

Honestly, why people hate it so much? It's better than most of the shit people use

That's why I'm working in that area. Gotta give the alcoholism some competition up there.

You need to raise it suckling at your teet until you send it off to college.

No, they're asking if you can get an erection

Hardware bring up is when you design a pcb or something and there doesn't yet exist any firmware for it. It would be the ability to debug the board and write firmware for it.

They need someone strong enough ton drag up old servers from the basement.

Looks like the company is https://www.winterwinds.io/, but they do not appear to have any open job listings at the moment. I assume this is an older screenshot.

Well, that's... not wrong. The time-sharing OSes take turns assigning resources too tasks.

Definitely. Horror story time.

We had an outside contractor bring us some code once that was thousands of lines of Python to do a very simple job. I was perplexed. I dove in to figure out what the problem was, and somehow I was looking at the most Java-esque Python code I could imagine. What’s worse is that he implemented his own “Java style” property getters and setters for all the Python classes, which obviously aren’t needed because you can simply access properties directly. In the end I took an 80 line snippet of his code (which actually did the work we needed), swapped out all the getters and setters, and deleted all the rest.

It might be to see who is reading the posting and tailoring their reply. Kinda like a "no green M&Ms" rider.

Definitely the first. I work in ML, and I find for instance people with background mainly in c# to be the least fit for my field, particularly if they have long experience. So I understand this kind of requests

Had to work with a python programer on a small java project (in uni). I passed some (handcrafted) strings in an Optional to be explicit an first thing he does is check whether they are empty (sending on empty strings would not have been problematic). Also he had compilation errors on his branch that lasted over a week. What python does to someone.

Isnt there Rust in the linux kernel now? Would be kinda crazy if it didnt get noticed by now...

Sure it is, grandpa. Now let's take your pills and go to bed.

Don't feel that way. This is a highly specific role with a ton of not-necessarily-connected tech. Python, C++, Rust and calling out Java? Strange. You don't need to know any of this stuff to be successful. If you just know javascript, that's enough for many, many roles.

Youll find that if you understand the patterns you're using in JS, you can apply them to many other languages. Other languages will have different syntaxes and maybe slightly different patterns, but you can always apply what you know, which will make it easier to add more languages to your arsenal.

You'll feel like you have no idea what you're doing for a long time, but all the while you have picked up a ton of knowledge and experience that you will still probably discount. Just be eager to learn and don't sell yourself too short.
