Oh stop narrating like nerds in a basement are cuddly lovable bunch.

Amount of toxic behavior in nerdy groups is just as high as finance.

Every single one just thinks how smart he is and how to one up the other.

Technical interviews were always bad even before 2010 as there was loads of gatekeeping anyway.

Yup, this idea that we're in a unique industry or that our industry is any different to any other career path is very toxic.

Accountants have the same bullshit memes we do.

Remember programming language quizzes? I kinda miss those, if you are testing for knowledge they have more value than leetcode
