DHL says that mine is en route to me now. It's a Taobao-Device, so no "real" success story here.
I really hope it's a genuine one to get me motivated to finally update my apps again! (Sorry to those of you using them who might suffering from bugs, I hope you understand just a tiny bit. Soon™, you know the drill.)
However, under requirements for the Qt/QML Engineer, "have multiple years of experience in C/C++"... I wonder, what is that mysterious C/C++? Did they mean C and C++? What on earth do you need C for in Qt and QML programming?
Yep, that is the usual way to speak of C and C++ languages. They are sharing so much that a lot of tools or job offers mention both at once. (see https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22C%2Fc%2B%2B%22 for examples)
Also, a lot of lower level libs are C code (linux kernel, gstreamer, blueZ...), so even if someones job is to code for C++ with Qt, knowing C (which is not much more than a C++ programmer already should knows) is a real asset.
It is interesting to see they are looking specifically for a bluetooth engineer. BT LE is not yet supported officially in the current Jolla if I am not mistaken ?
Atleast it's good that no sailfish updates appears anymore. All coders should be locked up until Jolla do what they say which is ship tablets and refund all backers. Then code if they have any money left, and coders
Yep, that is the usual way to speak of C and C++ languages.
I know, but 'usual' does not make it 'right'. That was my point.
C and C++ may have similar names and even a similar syntax but the paradigms are radically different. Especially when you introduce libraries and toolkits like STL or Qt.
