There’s bad people everywhere. Tech is one of the most liberal and caring fields by a huge amount, this is nothing but a biased anecdote.
A lot of poweful words, it is definitely liberal in gender and people but it has become extremely narrow in background selection. Hiring people is based on a game of probability of how fast can you solve questions , not if you're analytical or not. For e.g. fb recently asked in a 45 minute time frame, one hard and a medium leetcode question; can share the leetcode link too. This is literally what the post is about. A job/team success is not dependent on your ability to code fast
Nah, there's truth to it. Just because there's bad people everywhere does not mean the distribution or concentration of bad people in an area is the same.
Definitely some truth to it but I see elitism from another angle. We work in an industry where people who solve a few algo problems on a whiteboard and on the job move JSON get 250k+. They think they're engineering gods for working for a company not about what problems they solve. There are people in big companies working on hard problems but most are not. Used to be tech had actually hardcore people who really cared about the craft and not about big salaries. Think Linus Torvalds, Joe Armstrong, etc. The relevant person today I can think of that comes closest is george hotz. They are passionate (torvalds is infamous for this) but it's not like a "I am great your code sucks" it's for having a really good projects. Torvalds on some email threads has referred to his own ideas as "moronic", so it's really these folks who I think are quite humble despite the words they might use. Hell, even bill gates actually cared about his craft. I mean he was a phenomenal business guy but he was also immensely technical and cared about what he worked on. Anyways sorry for the rant
Don’t be sorry, good rant!
Sure thing Walmart.
Got eem
That's rich, coming from someone who works for a company whose best product is an ad feed. At least Walmart supplies actual useful things to hundreds of millions of Americans.
