What the tech words mean
The sorting machine. Every technology name goes on a shelf, a stack is one pick per shelf, and skill transfers along the shelves rather than along the names.
Lessons
- What do the technology names on a resume actually mean? The one guide that sorts every technology word you will meet: languages, frameworks, tools, platforms, and practices, plus which skills transfer between them.
- Are AWS, Kubernetes, React, and Python the same kind of thing? The sorting machine: every technology name is a language, a framework, a library, a tool, a platform, or a practice, and each sits at a layer of the app.
- What is a tech stack? A stack is one pick per shelf. What a stack sentence means word by word, and the honest answer on full stack, generalists, and specialists.
- Can a Java developer do the Python job? The transfer table. Skill travels along layers far more than along names, and this is the judgment two later stations spend.
