Amazon to Uber: From the lens of a software engineer

Based on this, and the consistent theme that seems to run through the rest of your comments, it seems to me that all of these companies could stand to do more to assess the character of their interviewees. Reading this in the most charitable way I can still results in it coming across as arrogant, attention-seeking, and as you've made it to age 22 having experienced no hardship at all.

I am surprised you learned so much about me from my comment! Let me clarify a little: I am significantly older than 22. I had to drop out of university to provide for my ailing parents and to support my sister. I've spent more than a few nights sleeping in my car around the corner from whichever office or university I happened to be attending at the time.

Really? That theme of generosity is notably absent from most of your comments unless they glorify Google. A positive impression of someone is hard to come by if they seem inordinately eager to jump in on threads that paint non-American engineers in a positive light, or that dismiss racial discrimination as a negative thing.

I'm worse though, just in a different way.
