So u guys have fun working as Software Application Engineers ? Received an extremely good offer but wondering if I should take the offer not ? My dream is to go into FAANG / young teams but this Xpresso thing is scaring me for the future. Am I shooting myself in the foot if I take this offer ? What i am worried about is the no coding thing.
LOTS of people move from XO to "true" dev internally. Like I said having XO knowledge makes you pretty valuable when you transition. I haven't heard of many XO to fang developer transitions tho, but im not an XO dev.
Tc?
XO is a corporate trap don’t bother
Is XO similar to Salesforce low code platform with Apex? Seems to be salesforce opened it to everyone to extend the platform but XO is only used internally
Despite what people say, XO is a programming language. It is simply a visual programming language. Being proprietary, learning it will not be a transferable skill, but as a Java coder in Tools, people come out of XO with extremely strong modeling skills, which is transferable.
What kind of java programs do you write at SAP ? If you are writing sophisticated code that involves design patterns, multithreading, lamda etc then stick to it. If not then you will not miss anything by moving to xpresso because you can take a college Java EE class to refresh your knowledge anytime. Most interviews and at FANG dont care which language you use as long as you can leetcode. I previously worked in Java and then joined apps team at workday. I didn't miss Java because the most sophisticated Java I did was Spring framework which is basic and wasn't learning anything. I could have learn that in a month from a book. I then moved out of apps team to tools team and built stuff in Scala. It didn't take me much effort to learn new language. I did realize how shitty Java was compared to newer languages.
If your goal is to work at FAANG, don’t waste your time in app dev. It won’t help you and will set you back.

China CYBERATTACK on UK ? WTF
You got an offer as an app developer to do Xpresso? Also can you give me details about the offer/position and I can tell you if it's good
I am not really concerned about the offer. I need to know if Xpresso is worth it for the future and whether engineers have fun working on it or no ?
Oh ok, are you coming from a position that does "real" programming, if so you probably won't enjoy XO. Saying that I know a solid amount of people who enjoy XO. At workday knowing XO can get you far
