Does anyone else find this article extremely odd? There's only 3 sentences that explain the title, "best approach I've seen for hiring junior engineers," and the remaining 95% of the article is an overly verbose argument for why having good employees is good for your company. The points are so obvious that it's not even clear who or what he's arguing against. Was this entire article written by ChatGPT?

I found a dead giveaway is standalone titles that make sense, but content that doesn't. As if the author only wrote titles as a guideline and then let AI fill in the gaps. Usually it's many titles with ads in between every section. Im this case I don't feel like it's AI.

Yes, something's wrong with the article. It seems to be the equivalent of a "repost" done poorly, since the actual content it highlights from the original article is about onboarding, whereas the title was about hiring. The original article in question (part of a series): https://djspinmonkey.github.io/2023/07/10/ignite-hiring/ https://djspinmonkey.github.io/2023/07/10/ignite-hiring/

Yes, calling it “Ignite” was a tip off. Similar to the use of “unleash.” My guess is 80% written by chatGPT, edited down. Alternatively, ChatGPT learned from this guy? Still it missed “how should I fire new junior engineers”

It's an odd article, and the premise is also extremely odd. It sounds an awful lot like rushing a frat, which I'm not sure would have been all that helpful for me as a junior engineer.

No, it's real. It's commenting on the article by John, on old coworker of mine. I applied for Ignite but was not accepted and ended up getting into SE a different way. Anyway, I recommend reading the post by John and then reading this for the additional commentary. https://djspinmonkey.github.io/2023/07/10/ignite-hiring/ https://djspinmonkey.github.io/2023/07/10/ignite-hiring/
