Technically, it would be better if everybody had internet access.

BUT, it means that Amazon creating a selection pressure for people who cheat. Long term this will be corrosive to the organizational fiber of the corporation as idiotic unrealistic leetcode questions are to the technical fiber.

Amazon has become way buggier for me over the last few years and so has Google. I think this is intimately connected to their organizational dysfunctions.

I wouldn’t blame the devs for their quality issues. Try ownership.

Finger pointing isn’t a great signal.

Quality isn’t a skill issue. It’s prioritization. Ownership decides how devs spend their time.

I get your point, but skill also plays into quality.

Skill plays into ownership too. It plays into everything. What is your point?

People are just riding these organizations down as they crash, starting at the very top with the CEOs. The same feeling extends to the countries and societies where these things operate. Vultures upon a corpse.
