    Does it make sense to blur names when they’re still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔

    Serious question:

    Why is their name blurred when they openly stated they are the one that created the product?

    A quick search shows exactly who they are?

    I’m serially trying to understand if this is an etiquette in the industry, or something? I’m admittedly ignorant when it comes to tech.

      It’s the whole anti brigading thing. But I think if you’re dumb enough to post an ass take in public circles, you deserve the heat. Mods just make it a blanket rule to blur out names so they don’t have to actually read anything lol

      It’s a common internet thing that’s probably mostly done just out of habit, it doesn’t have any purpose like 90% of the time, but is generally the standard just for those few times where it might actually help

      As soon as I read it, I thought, who are they protecting. Surely it’s not difficult to find whoever created fastAPI.

      Took less than a minute with a single word query on my search engine of choice.

      I just don’t understand the internet sometimes.

    I saw a job post the other day. 👔

    It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦

    I couldn’t apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since > I created that thing. 😅

    Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate that “years of experience = skill level”. ♻

    My friend works as a Unix admin and his older coworker, who is paid way more than he is, is essentially useless and always slowing everyone down. Constantly asking basic questions and getting stuck on simple things for a whole day when he doesn’t ask.

    Same with driving. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it if you haven’t put any serious effort into learning and improving after passing your pathetic, weak test 38 years ago.

      I’m always horrified when people talk about how it’s not that easy to pass your driving test (Victoria Australia).

      Yikes, I hardly drive, rent a car when I need one, and I’m considered “good” by some, because I passed on the first try? I feel like the barrier to entry is far too low.

      Though, such is life when you allow the city to expand to the ridiculous levels it has without adequate public transport…

        Here in Canada we don’t even really bother with parallel parking anymore. There is also zilch when it comes to training related to driving in snowy and icy conditions. You have to figure that out on your own, so long as you don’t get a stunt driving ticket.

        The bar is so, so low and people still manage to limbo their way under it with astonishing regularity.

      No shame in asking questions

      Tech fields are always moving forward, if someone has a question they should ask instead of guess

      Further, older entrants with experience in older technologies have value that a company may need that newer entrants may not have really had the opportunity to ever work with. Deprecated technology still runs a lot of systems and companies will drag their feet in moving on because they have these older people working for them that, if a problem comes up they’re going to deal with and the company perception is that it’s cheaper than updating the entire thing to more modern solutions.

        Oh I should be clear that this person is absolutely a problem. They’re far less effective at their job, don’t learn for long after the question is asked, and the value they bring to the team is, in some ways, less than a fairly young person. And yet they’re paid more because “experience”.

        I have the same thing in my field(architecture and structural engineering firms) as a technologist. People who refuse to learn new skills with the software constantly hold back people willing to put in the effort.

          Make no mistake, the career path has no bearing on this experience. It is ubiquitous in the workforce.

          At one point in my life I was pushing carts in a factory, and some times we’d have to prep the material. People refusing to learn any sort of efficient way to prep the material meant they if they walked over to a cart that needed to be prepped I would change my entire workflow to adapt to being down a person

    That’s a red flag that the managers have no idea what they are asking for and have no idea what it is they make. They just know the last person that probably up and quit to go be a in a completely different career was the only person that retained that knowledge.

      as a consultant this happens all the time because companies use brokers to find people. the broker only has a vague description of the project to go on, and they are not a domain expert.

      i was once turned down by a broker because i “didn’t have experience in C”. i had listed all the versions of C i’ve worked with.

    Sometimes questions like this are tests to see how you’ll react when asked to deliver the impossible.

    (I mean, it’s not in this case, but if that’s totally how I’d answer if I’d posted it and was challenged)

    Who asks for years of experiences of fastAPI? That’s so weirdly specific. I doubt this story is real.

      Job posting requirements are done by a game of telephone where each person down the line is less technical than the previous.

      A manager is able to hire a mid-level engineer, which their company defines as 4+ years of experience. An engineer tells the manager what technologies they use, bringing up fastAPI at some point. The manager then gives this list to someone who writes up the job posting who just puts ‘requires 4+ years’ on every bullet.

      Nearly every job posting that asks for more experience than is possible or for something weirdly specific happens this way.

        The good thing in our team is they send the draft back to people who know the role for review before posting.

        Yup, exactly. The job postings aren’t written by the people who do the job, or even know what the job does.

      Nah, I’ve seen it. I just went through the whole job hunting thing again, and the main thing employers want (I’m a Data Engineer) is many years of experience using their specific tech stack. 5 years with dbt. 10 years with Snowflake. 6 years with FastAPI… and so on.

        I guess there’s lots of idiots hiring. We definitely state our specific stack as a bonus, but expecting candidates to be these magical unicorns that know exactly what you need… It’s so insane. I much rather hire someone motivated to learn.
