Really? They pretty much hire from the best (Stanford, etc) - how are they mediocre?
- jomamaxx 10y agoJust because someone studied biology at standford - or even computer science at Stanford - does not necessarily make one a good dev., that said, smart kids who get into such programs are likely higher in potential. Moreover, good devs usually have a few years under the belt. They hire from a lot of places and do piecemeal, often shoddy consulting work, it's not a product company, there's nothing special about them.
