I am developer for 30 years with experience from whole stack, from kernel modules/windows drivers to the js (which I must say, I avoid as much as possible, currently experimenting with webasm). One startup, had three interviews, once I have started to describe the project I have worked and some background has issued a personal memo to hire me immediately, second one gave me to implement filesystem traversing recursion, the third guy... ... now the fun begins. Described me a case of huge volume of http data and how would I load balance them. "hm, ok, huge amount of data, lets propose the DNS based load balancing, you can still do proxy based load balancing on entrypoints". The counter answer was that do I really think this is server side solution, once I have described it to him, he said that he doesn't agree and that DNS load balancing is client side based solution. And I was out. Got new job in two weeks. With one hiring interview, no stupid programming tasks, just some talking what I was working before. And they raised my sallary twice in 6 months. I think that this nonsense with tech hiring must stop. It is damaging the companies that are looking for good engineers as they only get engineers that are worse that their existing engineers. The classic old story A people hire B people, B people hire C people,...
