Hello! I'm an experienced Ruby/Rails developer preparing to switch to Java/Spring. I'm working on a pet project and decided to use Thymeleaf for the UI. This wasn't too difficult for me, given my Rails experience with similar technologies. I planned to use React/Redux/TS for my next project. However, I'm considering if it might enhance my CV/GitHub profile to have two React projects instead of one with React and one with Thymeleaf. From job listings and Reddit discussions, it seems Thymeleaf may not be as valuable. Still, I'm unsure if it might still be useful. For instance, in Rails, job listings rarely mention erb/haml/slim, focusing on more current technologies, yet many companies still use erb for the UI.
In summary, if you were hiring, would you prefer someone with extensive React/Angular/API experience and minimal Thymeleaf knowledge, or a candidate with decent skills in both React and Thymeleaf?
P.S. I understand that I could list anything on my CV and that many other factors are important. However, I'm currently focused on solving this specific issue.
