It's even worse when you're looking at something specialised like C#, it would be pretty funny I think to compare notes. I really do look at these companies and think, there's probably maybe two guys there who actually know what they're selling. Which is why if you're going to run a games company especially every employee should have mandatory gaming sessions. That goes for even the janitor and the receptionists, so they're not massive dipshits if people ever ask them what they do at their job.
Edit: I just saw this little line in the job application for gameplay programmer with Larian Studios and I fucking laughed because it didn't take all that long to confirm my prejudices.
Work on all aspects of systems of the game: engine features, gameplay, UI, audio, animation ,scripting.
Fuck you then give me 6 paychecks if you're going to make me do all the work while everybody else goofs off doing their daycare activities every day. Gameplay is gameplay, it's nothing else, the rest of the team should be doing their fucking job and I shouldn't be doing anything else besides co-ordinating and making sure it isn't buggy shit.
No wonder these arseholes are getting beaten by teams of 3 autists though Larian seems to be a bit of an outlier at the moment.
Uhh, C# really isn't very specialized. It's right behind Java, which is behind all of the joke scripting languages used by wanna-be programmers who write shit code that makes your computer slow.
I suppose I should post specialised by normie standards, I am aware of the absolute clusterfuck of full stack dev purpose written languages among other things :P
LOL, Java and JavaScript used to be synonyms on job descriptions back around 2010. HR uselessness with regards to the tech field is a constant.
