> No, but I'd like to at least see conversation on how to improve the process. We aren't even at that point. We're just barely past acknowledging that it's even an issue.

The current hiring practices are a result of acknowledging what they did before didn't work. The current ones work well enough that people don't wanna change it, the only ones who wanna change it are engineers not the companies.

Okay cool. Back to step 0. Working as planned, ignore the dumpster fire in the back. Hope they reap what they sow.

Nit (not directed at you) : I don't appreciate being flagged for pointing out the exact issue of the article and someone just dismissing it as "well companies are making money, clearly it's not a crisis"

This goes beyond destructive thinking. Again, I hope the companies reap what they sow.
