# Lisp — Software Engineer

For a Software Engineer, 'Lisp competence' isn’t about *daily* coding in Common Lisp or Scheme for most roles – it's about understanding a fundamentally different programming paradigm. It means being comfortable with symbolic computation, recursion as a primary control flow mechanism, and the power of macros to extend language functionality. You might encounter Lisp derivatives (like Clojure) in specific niches like data science/ETL pipelines or concurrency-heavy systems. More often, it's about *thinking* like a Lisper: being able to decompose problems into smaller, recursively defined functions and appreciating the flexibility of code-as-data.
