The usual drivel, but there is one interesting question hidden in there: This company ditched the whiteboard and replaced it with "job talks". Does that work?
Apparently it does, but only(?) if you measure success in terms of duhversity.
- pottersbasilisk 10y agoNo, my current company comcast has a bunch of diversity initiatives but for core developer jobs you will be whiteboarded, qa not so much.
- th4dv 10y ago> Does that work It does because it allows to apply very vague criteria when selecting candidates. 'Culture fit' bullshit at it's finest.
- dang 10y agoYou're breaking the site rules in two ways. First, "drivel" and "duhversity" break the injunction against calling names in arguments (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Please don't do that; it triggers low-quality discussion. Second, your account has been using HN primarily to comment on political and ideological controversies. We don't allow this because it turns the site into a political battlefield. If users who use HN as intended—that is, for intellectual curiosity—post occasionally on political topics, that's fine. But accounts that use HN primarily for politics or ideology are not fine. We eventually ban those, so please don't use HN this way.
- 08-15 10y ago> your account has been using HN primarily to comment on political and ideological controversies There is no need to comment if I agree, is there? But it's your site, I'm not going to tell you how to run it.
