This is exactly right, and I agree. But instead of dancing stupidly, could we demonstrate real-world skills with real-world code and real-world experience? And there's a flip side to that coin (from the perspective of hiring managers): You want me to dance for a $300K comp package? OK, I'll dance, but don't be upset when you can't find qualified employees when you are selecting dancers. You wonder why candidates are complaining about not getting interviews (let alone offers) and employers are complaining about not finding candidates. This is why, my guy.
