On HN coding is more respected than social skills. A software engineer is likely to crumble in 30 seconds when they are interviewed on CNBC.
- Jensson 4y ago> On HN coding is more respected than social skills No it isn't, you see people saying "social skills are more important than technical skills" everywhere people discuss such things, and they get upvoted a lot. People saying the opposite tend to get heavily downvoted. So to me it looks like even on HN social skills are more respected than technical skills, at least in threads where we discuss what skills are important.
- projectazorian 4y agoMaybe on HN, but not in practice in the industry. The general rule at most SV companies is that poor leetcode performance in interviews is an automatic no hire. Poor social skills, on the other hand, are handwaved away unless the candidate did something really egregious.
