Hiring C developers back in the day was smart. It meant someone knew computers as much as they knew software.

Hiring C/C++/Rust devs and retraining (stupefying) them where necessary is prob a lifehack to get top talent without having to sift through 1000s of Js resumes.
That pro-tip has been used on me, I haven't touched them in ages, leaving my C/C++ skills rusty (pun intended).
Nothing wrong with that unless you got Catfished into a role or aren't enjoying your job.
