You are not a tribe...its what the British devised to enslave your mind. Tribesmen are primitive people.

Uk has four major tribes: Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish - there are at least 15 other tribes like celtic and druid but you will never hear them call themselves tribes.

As for this thread let's focus on the subject of the thread which is software development.

stanliwise:
Those big companies you mentioned don’t have a lot of product in the market(I mean software market).

Many times they employ expert majorly for maintenance purpose and maybe a one off development team to build a product.

Many software dev in those company works are majorly expert level work and they don’t really have space to hire people to train or give space to grow, so many young devs don’t look forward to them except you have gained ground and your ready to chop money.

As a young dev startups can stress your life for peanuts but would give you a big room to improve your skill set and confidence. So starting out many devs look forward into them.

On a lite note another angle, start up give young devs insight about how company you see everyday are made and raised

Karleb:
It's actually normal.

These old companies hardly recruit. They were in Nigeria before Andela came and made Software Engineering/Development exciting.

They also use old stack and can hardly change their stacks which is understandable.

New companies recruit like mad! About getting sacked. You need a job to get sacked in the first place.

Startups are fast paced and uses new tools which is exciting to most young people and also the exact reason why many employees in startups are youths.

Pay stack and co are just like our own Facebook, Google, Netflix et al. here. Everyone wants to in these companies in America but people don't really fancy Microsoft et al.

Exactly, imagine some companies still using .net framework in 2021.

When there are cool and hot frameworks like Django, Node, Laravel etc.

Open-source is making giant waves yet those old companies are still spending hundreds of millions for Adobe, Microsoft and others.

Rahkman:
Developers?? If you re thinking any other thing .... you are a tribalist

Karleb:


In all sincerity, there shouldn't be anything like old or new stack. But what I mean is, programming languages/tools that are no longer getting attention like before, e.g. C, C++, Jquery and the likes.

Even Java is not as popular as when we didn't have nodejs.

Thermodynamics:
I hardly see any thing about python in any programming thread these days, does it mean that python is obsolete? I'm currently learning python.

Ezekielmary:
What's the best language to learn.. now .. I'm learning PHP and it's seems is outdated and no longer in use.. and which company to work for..

4gunners:
Devs .. Realy wished to be programmer

tensazangetsu20:
I don't know if it's just me or maybe my network but most Devs I know seem to be more crazy about working for startups than big multinationals. I mean people would prefer companies like paystack, flutterwaves and andela than working at places like British tobacco, ExxonMobil, shell, pwc, Cognizant et Al as Devs.

I see Dev roles regularly on this companies career pages but I hardly meet Devs who work in such companies.

Why are Devs so crazy about startups? The work is ten times harder, hardly any job security. You can be sacked at anytime. Extreme pressure and very horrible pay with no pension benefits or severance package.

philcz:
Are you kidding? .NET has lots of acceptance and usage.

CSTRR:

Why change what is not broken?

stanliwise:

You don’t understand the context do you?
C, C++ and Java are static language and are reserved now to serious applications. The scope changed doesn’t mean this serious language went into silence.
Before now even simple project were built with hefty languages such as C, C# and it’s likes and at then people were just so bugged down and disturbed with how fierce it works and looks.
Then there came increase and high rise of prototyping and weakly typed language which gave leverage to people without proper understanding of coding to make their apps and boom that is where it all started.
Meanwhile the spot reserved for static languages can’t be taken.

So in conclusion, there is a rise in less hardware demanding applications. And new language shined. Never has Java, c, c++ and it’s static brother failed in the advancement race.

Karleb:


Maybe I didn't properly pass out my message, but I never implied that C and its brothers were obsolete.

Besides, many of this popular languages were built on C.

Take for example, we now have Kotlin which is now the official Android application programming language. Do you know how many Java programmers ditched Java for kotlin?

If you are saying people who write Javascript, PHP et al don't have proper knowledge of coding, that is not a right thing to say.
