My personal pet peeve is when recruiters talk about the qualifications and tech stack at length but completely leave out what the product / company is.

I know there are a lot of devs out there, particularly junior and intermediates, who are looking to work with their favourite tools or something they've not worked with before. But after 25 years in the industry, having worked with several "stacks" and programming languages and worked through many popular paradigm shifts, I care far more about what I'm building than I do what tools I'm using to build it.

So yeah, I ignore those recruiters.




I find this is much more often emphasized by developer interviewers.
