Technical Interview Performance by Editor, OS, and Language
Is this more evidence that interviews are broken in the world of GitHub profiles? There does not seem to be any correlation between the choice of editor and developer productivity when it comes to open source development. It is possible that developers who code with vim and emacs are forced to focus on low-level details like method names while developers using IDE&#x27;s can focus on getting stuff done.<p>While I do understand that this is just content marketing to drive traffic, it would be great if the following questions were handled with rigor.<p>Is editor usage related with age of the interviewer? If there is a strong co-relation between Eclipse and older interviewees this could very well be explained by ageism.<p>Is PyCharm ranking high in the rankings because of confounding with Python also being high?
