The assumption here is that technical screenings actually work. As many here have pointed out, technical interviews today are highly capricious and pretty have no correlation with actual technical qualifications. "Street cred" and even superb interview performance don't seem to matter anymore.

Pardon my naïveté, I never took advance physics, but if light can't escape from a blackhole, then how can we "take a picture" of one?

Not a neurologist so excuse the potential naïveté here but can one also make the argument that we can reduce a Chinese speaker's brain's ability to respond into a series of "manipulating symbols and numerals" as well, albeit, a extremely complicated one?

Interestingly, the article later admitted the club made it easier for the autio thieves so it was a positive externality after all.

But they should get demoted for making good products bad.

Most likely because he is a brogrammer. Brogrammers like to work with other brogrammers.

For those who doubt the validity of initiatives aimed at encouraging minority/women in STEM, here is an example of why they exist.

It was stupid. They gave me a project to do and during the onsite I had to walk through the code in the project. I thought I was pretty thorough given the time constraint. I figured it was just a bad personality-fit and they had to make up something so they said "not a good code story teller".

Senior level dev here (6+ years). My last job search was brutal. I aced my interviews but still got a lot of rejections. The feedback included

* the team thinks you’re a great engineer, but you didn’t show enough excitement about the company

* we think you’re a solid engineer but not quite at the senior level yet, it’s ok though, we reject 98% of our candidates

* we do a lot of code story telling at our team (I kid you not) and you weren’t a great story teller about your code

* the team didn’t get the sense you enjoy pairing and we pair a lot here

I actually think the real reason was poor personality match but companies don’t like being honest about that so they make up nonsensical excuses.

For me, definitely. The first time I took psilocybin 22 years ago shaped my views on consciousness, among other things, and led to profound personal growth. I don’t think I would be where I am today without it.
