It's just such a shame to see in practice. It's not like these company's workforces are doing something extremely innovative to warrant 1000s of engineers from elite schools; it's always the same web app, written in the same libraries, interacting with the same type of backends.

You want all the prestige candidates to work on your CRUD apps. I kind of understand the political backlash against tech now...
