I had a somewhat bad experience interviewing for the local companies, where the hiring manager grilled me for my native app preferences over cross-platform development.

[Stefan Oltmann]

What cross platform dev did they have in mind? Web tech like react? Or flutter?
I consider KMP to be native. 😉

[Frank Bouwens]

You can consider KMP both as cross-platform and native 😉 depends on who you ask

[Stefan Oltmann]

Indeed.

I'm just curious, because in job offers I saw they usually mean some web tech like React.

I wouldn't do anything else expect except Kotlin Multiplatform anymore. Even not Java jobs despite 20 years of experience in that field. Java feels now legacy to me. 😅

[Michael Paus]

This is already leaving its mark. expect -> actual = except 🧐😉

[Stefan Oltmann]

Indeed, this is something I mistype all the time. I guess that's a bug in my firmware. 😅

I once had a teammate who consistently mistyped "paramter" where he meant "parameter". 😬

It is the biggest Home Insurance Company. They are more considering .NET MAUI. Hiring Manager is from ex-Microsoft @Stefan Oltmann

[Stefan Oltmann]

Given that, it's no surprise there's a bit of bias. 😄

[itnoles]

Well, the company have been C# before they hired him

[Stefan Oltmann]

Ok, that’s a pretty clear picture now. 😄
