Have you built a $1 Trillion company? No.
Has your company pioneered some great open source software (Kubernetes, Go, React, PyTorch, Cassandra? No.
How do you even know that your method is correct, scalable? Answer is you don't know.
It's mind-boggling that people who hire for software engineers who write CRUD apps used by 20 people, think they know how to hire for firms that serve 4 Billion+ users.
- ken47 3y ago> people who hire for software engineers who write CRUD apps used by 20 people It seems like you believe that anyone who doesn't work for Google works for a boutique web design firm?
- zooq_ai 3y agoNo. Even if they work for BigBank. They usually are building some internal / enterprise app used by 20-100 people. Statistically that's what they are. There are only a handful of Billion+ scale apps. Also, it's ridiculous to shit on Silicon Valley hiring practices when they constantly churn out innovative software stacks and products.
- ken47 3y ago1. I would guess that many of the commenters in this subthread work for Silicon Valley big tech, including some apparent (ex-)Googlers who are openly skeptical of their company’s interview process. 2. By reputation, most big Silicon Valley companies, including those that operate “high scale” apps don’t put as much stock into leetcode-style interviews as Google. 3. Silicon Valley, obviously, does not have the monopoly on high scale applications.
- zooq_ai 3y agoNo offense, but most (ex-) Googlers have zero business / customer value sense. So, they have no weight in their opinions about how to build a $1T Business
