>I never saw anything material from CA's GATE in the 80's-90's.

N = 1, CA's GATE program in the 2000's changed my life. "Being special" was a powerful motivator for a younger version of myself.

>shouldn't we offer investment in the top ~1-3% of kids with alternative schools that don't hold back their potential that will likely ultimately benefit us?

N = 1, what I needed as a child was a more G&T version of CA's GATE. I responded best to competitive sports and long hours of math and science problems.

I won't comment on NYC politics or the article.

>If you got B’s in caltech CS I’d make you an offer for 200k+ without blinking or even asking you anything.

Everyone agrees it's the leetcode interview format. I agree to some extent, but I wouldn't throw it out completely. For me, I give four problems, and the candidate must solve two of the four with full internet access in an hour. It seriously reduces interview day variation for good candidates. If they can't do graphs but can do text formatting, they get a pass. I'm sure there's still some better way of doing this.

As an "ML Engineer," this is both true and very funny

Excellent insight
