This is a truly remarkable take I've never heard before. I honestly wonder if it's true.
If it's actually true--and if poor quality of work and reputation mean nothing, just leetcode--it seems like that is just a side effect of extremely rapid expansion and/or churn.
Because no employer would willingly hire people like that. That'd be absurd. So the only reason that would be possible if the hiring manager never got wind of someone's work ethic or quality. And it seems like that's only possible with enough disjointedness in the people network, combined with hiring practices that don't care about it.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoIt does sound distopian. However if it's really true then employers only have themselves to blame. Potential employees are reacting to the incentives in front of them.
- everdrive 6y agoIn my narrow experience, I have not seen much proof that my employer can: 1) Interview with any sort of success 2) Judge merit after getting the position I think a lot more people may be operating on intuition than you realize.
- decafninja 6y agoI currently produce average to slightly above average quality work while being a "Professional Leetcoder". All my performance reviews have been positive. I could produce significantly better and/or faster work by going "above and beyond", but other than a sentimental feeling of self satisfaction, why bother?
