That’s total nonesense! I’ve been working as a software dev for 10 years and I can assure you it doesn’t matter if you stutter at all. If you speak with clients it might not be the best fit, but otherwise your software dev skills (which are something you prove with experience, project, etc) matters orders of magnitude more. I would say that either the reason was different or the HR was incompetent if you are actually better than the others. But tbh the current job market is quite though especially if you don’t have experience. In any case just ignore the company. Can’t get every interview- you only need 1 to go well and get a job. Just keep trying and improving your software dev skills (and using AI tooling… but that’s a different topic 😁)
