There's really no such proof for this kind of casualization. To get in to big tech you mostly need to grind leetcode, a known set of problems that have already been solved and well documented. I met plenty of people who can grind leetcode but aren't really good at many other basic things in life like boiling some pasta or understanding why women's bathrooms have tampons. Just because you can grind leetcode, doesn't make you smart at everything else.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThat's all you need to do to get hired in BigTech, but to work in BigTech, you need to understand system diagrams and be able to describe the pieces involved. This is exactly the thing that Snowden couldn't do, which put him in the situation he now finds himself in.
- astrange 4y agoI'm in big tech and don't know what that is, know anyone else who knows what that is, and doubt my mostly-older-than-me coworkers are not just hiding it from me. I mean, I know it's a Blind meme, but I assume they just made it up.
