Also getting access to a huge amount of valuable information, or a nice margin for setting up anything sufficiently private

If I had jumped through Google's hiring hoops, I wouldn't either. Of course, this could be solved with money.

I miss the days where downtime would be like half a day or more and you could use it as an excuse to go home or do something else.

Weirdly people were less angry about it back then than we seem to be today.

Treating this as a universal standard of women for men is probably more harmful to anyone's dating chances than having roommates or not.

I expect FedNow to disappear since they will kill free tax filing by the IRS

>Add me to the list of people who acknowledge the problem but haven't heard any alternative.

Credentials like doctors and lawyers. You don't ask your surgeon for a demo before going in do you? Stakes are way higher and there are obviously bad doctors too.

Bad managers do way more damage than bad developers, and I don't think I've heard of managers having to mock manage a team for an hour, and I'm sure it's just as vulnerable to bullshitting.

What it really seems like is the lower end positions get the hoops to jump through while the upper level positions (manager and staff+ ICs) have it easy despite having way more impact and being paid more.

If people can explain their decisions, I'd say it's fair game. It would be nice to know up front if someone used AI of course.

The other implication here is that if a candidate can use AI for a take home and ace the interview, then maybe the company doesn't have as tough of problems as it thought and it could fill this seat quickly. Not a bad problem to have.

Leetcode for CRUD app positions is overkill.

You could definitely do better if that's the only criteria.

Businesses realizing a lot of their problems are already solved will be of great help to developers.

I'm extremely tired of bespoke solutions when OTS or already-known would work just fine.

Sure I would, as long as they tax billionaires even more and guarantee it. I do CRUD app development, I'm not even responsible for anything as potentially dangerous as a train. Superintelligence would very likely take my job anyway, so I won't get taxed for long.
