This type of self-referencing and self-congratulatory comment is what makes this website worse and worse little by little. You don't add any meaningful information or knowledge and it is something shallow a kid would say to look cool in front of his friends. I am not attacking you, you can do better.

Reflect on the reasons why you’ve just written this very comment. You might be surprised.

  I was going to post a comment but I decided it didn’t add much. Maybe if we all refrain from liberal posting it would remove the need to post comments asking for better comments. I’m not sure. I may post too liberally myself.

I disagree. The information "Goto has obviously horrible hiring tactics that select Programming-101-graduates for senior positions WHILE operating a security-sensitive product" is meaningful.

  From 3 lines written by someone on some social media site you can infer something is true and a fact? ~Cool!~

    There are so much bad hiring practices in our industry that I indeed choose to trust the rare companies that do it right over the ones that cargo cult Google brain teaser questions, make you implement quicksort on a whiteboard, give you a take-home project that will take you forever but they will hardly glance at, will stop replying to you because ghosting is good, ... That's the first impression I get from an unknown company and I decided to trust it.

      Most things are cargo cults anyway, I wouldn't worry too much. This company doesn't seem to follow the ways of the cult though, that's the concern.

Are you sure you are not talking about yourself? Also, simply writing "I am not attacking you" at the end of an attack doesn't help either.

What would be better, given the info in their comment is correct? It’s arguable whether a simple senior filter and “HR stuff” is a red flag or not, but how does it make this site worse?

Honestly his account was helpful. Lax hiring practices seem quite relevant to the security issues being revealed. However, your comment comes across as an attack intended to maybe silence his experience.
