Great article. There is a small nuance needed imho.
Or better said: ‘It depends’.
Tech stacks are complicated.
When adjusting your filter, you need to take in account:
- do ‘they know tougher languages, and will they need to adopt a simples language? Great. Eg. From Rust to Python
- have they worked on simpler languages, never really touched the tougher ones, not so great. Eg. From Python to Java.
- do they have experience with a broad or narrow tech stack? Narrow? Dive deeper to see if they can adapt fast. (Reasoning, logic, transferrable knowledge).
- is the knowledge transferrable? Again, going from one type of coding (oop) to another can work, or can’t. Again the complexity.
- don’t try this with FE vs BE, it does not work. Reason? 1) Most FE never have to worry about the deeper infa 2) the majority of FE did a bootcamp and never dove into the BE enough.

But overall… i agree
