I don't feel better. What hope is there for me then!? Fuck-em and their stupid snobby jobs anyway.

  It makes me think that the r/cscareerquestions tack of forgetting everything else and focusing on just leetcode may actually have merit. For what it's worth, I think Chris Marshall looks like a great developer and a professional I aspire to emulate. However, a lot of companies do make decisions based on metrics, keyword searches, and standardized tests like leetcode (aka stuff that misses out on the human element), so it makes sense to try and balance both if one hasn't done so already.

  I'm sorry. There's no hope for me either; I'm not a "good cultural fit" most of the time. I agree with your last sentence, although I would word it a little differently. :)

    From your blog I expect that you'd be a cultural fit for the kind of place I'd like to work in. Unfortunately those places are not the that common.

      Unfortunately, you're correct that they are not that common. In fact, my last job was at a place where the salesman told me to not fix a bug I found until a customer ran into that bug so that "they'll remember why they need us." I was appalled. I'm glad there are more programmers like me out there though. Thank you. :)
