Toot

@scottjenson most hiring is done at a level of abstraction that didn’t used to exist

hiring goes for people that put libraries they know on their resumes and recruiters match on the libraries the business depends on

in the before times, there was just code and you could either code or you couldn’t

now, there’s people that use libraries (product) and people that write libraries (platform)

the people that write libraries still operate like the before times like you describe, but people that need a library can’t deliver a solution if it doesn’t already exist.

the library people are generally quarantined off from ux and the rest of the business as their customers are developers, so while they could do the thing, in practice, they don’t know problems exist until another dev surfaces it, which doesn’t happen
