This article focuses too much on the developer role in the coding skills challenge, portraying the companies as bystanders waiting for a result. Usually the problem comes with the evaluation. If you're asking a senior to bring a different way of thinking, but you ask your team of mid to senior dev, who never worked anywhere else for the matter, to evaluate, you're gonna most often get an evaluation based on their current way of looking at things, and you'll never get anyone to push the team forward.

Even if people came up with ideas I didn't agree with, they got bonus points for justifying them or considering the pros/cons. And I know I'm not the only person that appreciated it.
