Ask HN: Do you agree on these screening shortcuts when hiring tech developers?
I came across this interesting video (youtube.com/watch?v=SK27TqxV4ko&t=26m49s),
where some screening tips are mentioned (imgur.com/BPijK9w).
One of them says that a good developer always uses either OS X or Linux and using Windows is a no-no. Another one says the preferable primary scripting language should be Ruby or Python.
What do you think about these so called hiring heuristics?
Will ditching a Windows laptop for a MacBook and being proficient in either Ruby or Python give you a career boost in the long run?
