I'm seeing businesses improving how they hire people and how they put teams together by thinking differently about the kinds of programmer they hire.
For example, if a business needs a tool to be built, they look for a tool builder who has worked on similar tools, even though they used a different language or worked in a different vertical.
Or if they need an application to be built, they look for a tool applier who has worked in the same tech stack but a different business domain (or vice-versa). Then the tool applier only has to learn about a new business domain or a new tech stack, but not both, and can quickly become productive.
This is making for some interesting and surprising opportunities in the job market. In my own case, I am finding myself being sought after for roles and companies that I never would have anticipated several years ago.
On the other hand, it makes for a challenging competitive landscape, as I now have to compete with talent who may look very different from the peers I am used to working with.
