You Can't "Know" A Programming Language
I see a lot of job postings that, if they aren’t putting a programming language directly in the title of a position they are hiring for, will put the name of the language as an important requirement somewhere in the job description. I believe this sort of practice is guided by a misconstrued perception of what the relationship is between people and their ability to develop software. There should be no “Java Developer” or “React Developer;” there should be only “Software Developer,” regardless of the languages a person will be interacting with in a job. People don’t know programming languages to the extent they should be labeled with them. It may even make more sense to say that people can’t “know” programming languages to begin with.
