You have to keep in mind that having easy access to meat without hunting is a recent thing relative to history.

> $500K+/year just for memorizing a bit of stuff? This seems to be understating the effort required to actually get hired. I doubt anyone can just do Leetcode during their free time in the weekend and expect to pass most of the test

I think it would also filter people who are just looking around or brushing up their interview skills. Whether that is good or not, I leave it up to you.

I emphatize with people who point out flaws immediately. Because some people have the habit of dominating discussions or steering discussion away that paints them in a negative light.

> The author is just giving an example on how engineers have a habit of pointing out flaws It's strange that finding flaws is framed negatively. This ability is a positive trait in software development.

One of the early disappointments I had with software engineering was that I thought that I would be mostly working to formulate elegant solutions and implement them. Didn't expect software development to need so much people management.

It's a chicken and egg problem. How would you gain professional experience in something that is out of your current scope? For example, if a frontend web developer wants to pivot to backend using serverless.

One cannot predict the future but I agree that for most indie outfits, YAGNI would apply.

Or maybe because the people who ordered delivery ordered first. Why shouldn't they be served first? I would be pissed off if my order got delayed because they prioritized someone in the restaurant who came in after I ordered. FIFO&#x2F

> 'politics' is just a single word shorthand for 'dealing with human beings.' No wonder why we are so messed up if this is the bar that we set and condone.

This. I still wonder if it was worth it to jump from a 16GB MBA to a 32GB MBP for twice the price...

I hope they don't cut the size down too much so that the M1 Pro/Max/Duo/Quad chip that they will inevitably put in will not be thermally throttled.

Maybe people who have everything at the top are afflicted with chronic boredom and playing the "game" is the only way to assuage it.
