Java is poison for the mind

ability to bring up hardware

In conversation?

Do you have a link to this job posting? That’s exactly me. Not a joke.

Real-time operating system implies the existence of a turn-based operating system.

Maybe they want to avoid java coding patterns. FactoryFactoryGenerator kind of stuff. Maybe they want to teach their own java coding patterns and want someone coming in with a blank slate so they don't have to unlearn habits. Maybe they're tired of diploma mill programmers applying and are using this as a resume filter tripwire.

Ruling Javascript and Python programmers out would be more sane imho. Java sucks, but at least its typed and doesn't implement weird semantics.

Did NOT expect to see Rust mentioned. Happy it's getting recognized.

Java is a great language.

reading this just gives me the biggest imposted syndrom and reminds me of how underqualified for any job i feel, even after my software development apprenticeship

Damn, that sounds like a cool job. I would like to do more Rust at work, but alas, everything here is either Python or Java.

Git hygiene is important for avoiding Git-Transmitted Infections (GTIs) such as Vim

Once I asked a professor to participate in a project. So he interviewed me and asked me about my skills, as they do, and one of the questions was "do you know oop? Java?", me: "just the basics", him: "even better".

I can always act like I don't speak Java

Wait... Can you send me this job listing OP? 😅
