- joelbluminator 6y agoYeah I never got it. Don't they at least wanna make sure the candidate knows their current tech stack? many of them don't seem to care. The ones that care are usually very small companies where every hire is super critical. The bigger the team, the less important the hire is, the less they care about the actual work that needs to be done.
- danjac 6y agoThe thing is, when I've seen code written in startups that have a "leetcode" process, it's ... not great. Lots of premature optimization and code review bikeshedding and not-invented-here, while having big issues around perhaps more important things like security, API design and database performance.
- joelbluminator 6y agoYeah I agree. A lot of it is coming from CTO's, tech leads. It feels like that for them to justify their salaries they will push for "cutting edge" solutions like graphql, micro service architecture and stuff like that. Many times completely unneeded.
