In my anecdotal experience, companies put far too much emphasis on finding unicorns that can solve problems on a whiteboard than they do on finding above-average developers that have a strong work ethic, can learn fast, and have shipped something.
As it stands, it seems the only people these companies hire are notable SV personalities, or people that excel at the formal interview format.
As a result, they are missing out on a lot of good talent.

Don't even get me started on working remote.
