Ask HN: Developer Speciality?

from the ask-hn dept.

Is it a good idea for entry level software developers to pick a certain area to focus on and become good technically, in those areas? (ie multicore processor programming skills)

Really depends the type of work you like to do. Consulting companies like you to know a bit about a lot of things.

Product companies on the other end tend to hire for very specific roles and will thus be looking for specialized folks (e.g. Apple hiring CDMA experts).

Hope this helps!

No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. So sure, why not?
