So, in other words, the pipeline that's producing engineers is not filtering out people without talent. It used to be that people who "didn't know how to learn" couldn't make it through the early engineering courses and moved over to some other field.

Competency is no longer relevant to getting a job.

HR likes tech bros who know how to play the game. They hate nerds who point out risks.

This all started with the cryptocurrency gold rush.
