I have found most software developers cannot write software…at all. Most interviewers seem to find people that can actually write software grossly incompatible.

I have found most software developers cannot write software…at all. Most interviewers seem to find people that can actually write software grossly incompatible. Knowing this I try to cut through all the bullshit and immaturity by focusing on leadership and measures. Software is exceedingly immature and biased, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I interviewed at a FAANG this year and it was one of the worst: leet code nonsense and false assumptions about performance that don’t survive reality. They might pay well, but the interview made it feel like a dead end hourly job flipping burgers.
