This. Outsourcing judgment is far better in theory than practice. Hiring is and will remain messy.

Definitely not. MS shops will be around a long time after you and I are out of this game.

In case the Twitter OP checks out the thread--I can't magically fix this problem for you but I can definitely get human beings to take a look to see what can be done for you. Send me an email to my HN handle at protonmail dot com and w

I don't know what you mean by superstar--that will mean wildly different things in different contexts/companies. That said if I read that as the mythic 10x ex-Google master I'm not entirely convinced such people exist nor if

Makes sense, thank you. I do figure elective brain surgery will be a thing at some point but we seem a ways off from that today.

10 months in the pit is no joke. I'm on 13 and often wonder how I made it this far.

HM here, don't apply to every job on a website (spamming is obvious) but definitely go for any you're actually interested in. Different recruiters often own different postings and some may be more responsive/amenable than oth

At first read this seems ridiculous, but then I thought about it for a minute and am less certain. I guess at this point why the hell not? Seems like a lot of gray area though. I'm curious to see if anything actually comes of this. Wha

Hey, I'm not sure if you'll see this but I work at Amazon and can at least try to get a human for you. I can't promise magical solutions but I can get you some real person attention. Email me at my HN handle at protonmail dot
