Us, software engineers, start to sound like spoiled kids when it comes to interviewing. We don't like writing code on the whiteboard, we don't like mind teasers, we don't like programming puzzles, and so on. We complain about

I think we are slowly going back to the time when social networks didn't exist. The "social network" generation is maturing enough to know better than using social networks, and the new generation considers them lame and appa
