Two wrongs don't make a right. I wish that engineers would spend half as much time trying to correct the organizational dysfunction of their companies as they do on leetcode and the like.
The tech industry that likes to brag about "innovation" and "disruption" seems very conservative and resistant to change as far as hiring is concerned. Everyone seems complacent about that and stuck in the status quo. Then they complain about a talent shortage...
This sounds good, but experience has taught me it’s just not true.
It’s so easy to claim credit for accomplishments where other people did 90% of the work. And in a big company it takes about 2 years for a bad hire to get pushed out, if they ever are.
