  4. I am begging companies to test out their interview questions, especially the coding tests, on their own senior people as calibration, before using them as a gauge for hiring new folks.

      Like - I get the "we're just testing basic skills" to spot people who are essentially lying. Fine, so make the test literally trivial. Read some numbers, find their mean, done.

      Or there's the "we want something to start a conversation". OK, so don't have an actual answer (or at least not one that is sane). Ask them to make a program that plays checkers, write it in an hour, and be clear that there isn't going to be a "right answer" in just an hour.

        I feel like red hat needs to hire somebody to do basic pr and project management training for their developers. Maybe they can hire the audacity youtuber guy for a few months. (Yes indeed, another red hat employee jumped into a random critical thread to say actually everyone is a volunteer and that instead of criticising they should shut the fuck up)
