Not to denigrate the work but: I hate it and I can't fully describe why. There are no pictures of any people and barely any human element at all. There's too little context. Too much potential for it to be a scoreboard. It's

As a general comment, I wish hiring managers found some other outlets for their enormous ego and insecurities than the process of hiring of software engineers. I understand their argument that they have 1,000,000,000 applicants for every jo
