agreed that it doesn't work for all employees and i don't mention it as a way of finding employees, rather a way to screen potential employees if they do happen to play sports.
i'd also mention that i play ultimate with a bunch of engineers on a weekly basis so they are out there...
- LeBleu 17y agoYou completely left out the "if they do happen to play sports" in the actual article, which heavily colors non-sports players view of the article. I definitely agree that many engineers and programmers play sports... but I also strongly suspect that on average, an engineer or programmer is less likely to play sports than the average person, and more likely to be the kid who always was picked last to play sports as a kid and hence have negative views of sports.
- foulmouthboy 17y agoAnd if said potential employee doesn't happen to play sports, then, to quote the article, "That's BULLSHIT"?
