There's an entire planet of jobs that have nothing to do with leetcode. I was talking about those, not FAANG stuff. Unfortunately I am not FAANG royalty.
>Of course some still do, like Anthropic were you have to have a perfect score to 4 leetcode questions, automatically judged with no human contact, the worst kind of interview.
Should be illegal honestly.
- almostgotcaught 1y ago> Should be illegal honestly. I can't imagine this kind of entitlement. If you don't want to work for them, don't study leetcode. If you want to work for them (and get paid tons of money), study leetcode. This isn't a difficult aristotelian ethics/morals question.
- MarcelOlsz 1y agoI meant no human-in-the-loop wrt hiring, which is what I thought you were getting at.
- almostgotcaught 1y agoIt's the same exact thing - if some company makes you jump through hoops to get hired that you find distasteful just don't apply to company.
- MarcelOlsz 1y agoYou don't know their interview process unless it's one of the big tech companies though.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoNo. Certain things just harm basic human dignity and should be outlawed. Judgement comes from our peers, not from machines.
- hn_go_brrrrr 1y agoBut sometimes also machines. ACLs are enforced by machines, and everyone is fine with that.
- antonvs 1y agoNot all of us are market extremists. The “invisible hand of the market” doesn’t care about human rights.
- almostgotcaught 1y agoI don't understand what you're saying. We're not talking about the market exploiting labor because before you are hired by the company you're not labor for the company. Is this really that difficult to understand?
- aidenn0 1y agoIt might be illegal; certainly if you can show that LC is biased against a protected class, then there would be grounds for a lawsuit.
- eek2121 1y agoOnly if there is enough evidence. Yes, I can say that the inability to account for things like the ADA in the US can place an employer in hot water, however, since LC doesn't make those decisions, they are immune. The accountability is placed upon the employer. Don't hate the players or the game. Maybe just figure out how to fix it without harming everyone, be popular enough to make said idea into law, and get into a position of power that allows you to do so. If that sounds hard, congrats, welcome to the reason why I never got into politics. Don't even get me started on all the people you will never realize you are hurting by fixing that one single problem.
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> certainly if you can show that LC is biased against a protected class, then there would be grounds for a lawsuit. That wouldn't be hard to do. Given the disparate impact standard, everything is biased against a protected class.
- camdenreslink 1y ago5 years ago non-FAANG companies were fully in leetcode mode for interviews. Maybe 10-15 years ago you could totally avoid it without much problem.
- pjmlp 1y agoIn most European companies that isn't a thing. Thankfully not everything from SV culture gets adoption.
