This is true even for many software development roles at places like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. Equally true is the corollary that the interview process for these positions is laughably out of sync with the duties for the positions to be filled.
Very few software engineering roles actually require "deep" technical expertise. What you describe is pointing out yet another way in which the corporate cliche of "we only hire the best" is so pervasive.
- debacle 13y agoSomeone said something to this effect in one of those "Why I left Google" blog posts, and other Googlers were calling him/her out because they believe that even a CRUD app at Google is exceptional because it is a Google CRUD app (meaning they solve problems with CRUD apps that other companies don't have, I think). I don't know if there's any credence to that.
- plinkplonk 13y agowow, do you have a link for this (Googler's claiming their CRUD app was exceptional)?
- debacle 13y agoNo, but it was only a few weeks ago. It could make sense - even CRUD needs to scale at some point.
