Author's thoughts on what is broken are: 1. Too much reliance on automated filtering of resumes 2. Companies asking for too much years of experience with specific tech/language/stack 3. Developers dismiss other developers (for using javascript, apparently?) 4. The 'asking about language trivia' interviews are bad, it would be much better to make candidate solve a small task from scratch 5. Restatement of (2) but with individual engineers instead of companies 6. Companies don't comp the employees education enough 7. Lowballing everyone's offers by default to save on labor costs is bad What is interesting to me is that this is NOT a FAANGMO criticism. The point that applies the most to FAANGMO is probably 7, but even there the lowballs are not that low. Also fairly amusing is the suggestion to stop asking programming language trivia in interviews. Made me double-check the year of the article.
