How to Interview Engineers

I believe it is satire. He might have written a genius article that straddles the Poe's law line.

I don't know why everyone is convinced this is satire. Satire of what? To me it reads as a straight piece on a very opinionated way to hire people.

I agree that it doesn't obviously read as satire, though I am not very familiar with the author. The users determined that this is satire seem more familiar with his previous work.

Thanks for calling this out, I definitely fell victim, also hadn't heard of Poe's law which has made my life a little bit better.

The first sentence is:

>>This is my super secret proprietary no-nonsense guide

Looks like satire.

Looks like an engineer trying to be funny to me :) Typical for the genre?

Yep :) I even showed it to my daughter, who rolled her eyes and said it was a page full of dad jokes!
