http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
The actual 'Ember' isn't marketable / not the skill set. And that's really subjective. It depends who the hiring manager is. If the resume said 'Joomla! and Ember' - then a 20 year old hiring manager might think those are dead. It doesn't mean it's true...
But what we mean - isn't the skill set. It's the CTOs and team-leads who have to actually choose it - and put their trust in it. They don't want to choose a technology that is being described as "dead" - and it's our job to tell them a different story. The facts don't matter that much in this case. It's all about "how it looks" and how it "feels" - and well, it looks like the community doesn't really care about anything but linkedIn / from the outside. But - people are totally ready to hear the story --- so, someone needs to tell it. People are seeing Reacts flaws - and although the mental model was working for them as they started - now they can see what a nightmare it can be / and wondering what to do! You might be one of the few people who can really explain that well.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
