@yzhea omg, the first person that wrote xD I already like you :D
-
@KimDotSe it is as real as the nose on my face... I wish i could make this crap up
-
@qbalsdon it's kind of sad, lol
-
@gitpush swift for 6 years?! Yeah sure!!!
-
@alybadawy plz tell me you are joking? He said in his post they want 12yr exp in Android development when Android hasn't been around for that long, Andi was just going with the flow as I know Swift existed in 2014
-
@gitpush So even if this is a misfiled iOS dev spec the experience is ridiculous, the iPhone came out in 2007 so 10 years is the max experience for an iOS dev :)
-
@qbalsdon good point, I've been in this field for three years though can't think of a situation where that much experience is wanted for a mobile app, if it was for working on improving SDK then I guess it's reasonable
-
@SirWindfield well that you, i think I like you too! :D
-
@KimDotSe the recruiter never knows what he recruits for.
-
@Noob Well, the recruiter who recruited me actually took online classes in programming just so she knew what she was talking about. But I understand that this is not the normal case
-
@KimDotSe wow! This is surprising!
-
@qbalsdon What did the recruiter answer?
-
@sp90 nothing so far :D
-
@cuervo That made my day!
-
@fyroc They rarely do
-
@sp90 you only need it in some special parts, e.g. in setTimeout(...) afaik, but in this rant I thought it was needed for the thing i wanted to say ;)
Basically: Apply water to burned area. :D -
I got a similar email (in technology I worked in), the recruiter insisted on talking on phone - pissed me off with his non sense questions and super confident attitude while asking those... tried to explain him calmly... eventually the call ended up he declaring that I m not the right candidate for the skill set he is looking for ... I believe he was right 🤣
-
@fyroc no it doesn't, the recruitment company is K-Tek resourcing LLC
-
@gitpush Swift has been around for six years? I thought it was introduced wwdc 2014
-
@codeblue just going with the flow of the requirements bro 😝
Got this from a recruiter:
We are looking for a **Senior Android Developer/Lead** at Philadelphia PA
Hiring Mode: Contract
Must have skills:
· 10-12 years mobile experience in developing Android applications
· Solid understanding of Android SDK on frameworks such as: UIKit, CoreData, CoreFoundation, Network Programming, etc.
· Good Knowledge on REST Ful API and JSON Parsing
· Good knowledge on multi-threaded environment and grand central dispatch
· Advanced object-oriented programming and knowledge of design patterns
· Ability to write clean, well-documented, object-oriented code
· Ability to work independently
· Experience with Agile Driven Development
· Up to date with the latest mobile technology and development trends
· Passion for software development- embracing every challenge with a drive to solve it
· Engaging communication skills
My response:
I am terribly sorry but I am completely not interested in working for anyone who might think that this is a job description for an Android engineer.
1. Android was released in September 2008 so finding anyone with 10 years experience now would have to be a Google engineer.
2. UIKit, CoreData, CoreFoundation are all iOS frameworks
3. Grand Central Dispatch is an iOS mechanism for multithreading and is not in Android
4. There are JSON parsing frameworks, no one does that by hand anymore
Please delete me from your emailing list.
