>Marketing in tech right now is having a big problem with people rising to the leadership ranks that really don't understand the basic fundamentals of the craft

Can't blame them; tech industry has been focused on tech and some business and of course people from other departments are starting to figure out they grow their career in leaps and bounds just by switching to a tech company rather than fighting in the highly competitive playgrounds of ad/marketing agencies and other companies.

Better to be a big fish in a tech pond than a small fish in a marketing pond.

Not necessarily. The results may only be as good as the training set that was used to produce the calibration (probably butchering the terminology). And the results that the twins got for their tests may have been "equally good" in terms of the reliability of the test.

I like solving puzzles. I like algorithms. Every once in a while I even get to use them at my job! Solving these kinds of things is at most 5-10% of a developer’s job, and that’s probably a stretch in reality. The number of times I’ve seen things like dynamic programming come up in a real world application are vanishingly small, and rarely will you need to roll your own implementation rather than using a third party library. Even if you’re working on a library like that, considerations of good software design principles, infrastructure and the like will consume a large portion of your time.

99.6% is hardly an impressive figure. I would expect 99.9999% between twins at least. Chimpanzees and humans already share about 96% of genes.

I'm not seeing what makes this "modern". proto3 is only a few years old and nothing about it strikes me as unusually archaic. Protobuf in general isn't that much older than Go. I can see why Go-compatible syntax would be attractive to Go developers, so maybe that should be in the description rather than "modern"?
re: why review; I commented about this above, but:

1. We prefer to be able to say that everything is reviewed, but that in this particular case the review works automatically. Requiring a PR review is important to our security model (and therefore, our business). Skipping review, especially in a library that contains both these definitions and the code that leverages them would be too cavalier for us.
2. We want to give developers control over when these changes are merged. Many API changes are coordinated with other changes (e.g. in integrating services). We _could_ require backwards compatibility, but we find this too onerous in this layer of our stack.

re: test first; we have a very thorough process for qualifying releases:

- As much as we like continuous deployment, our (enterprise) customers aren't particularly interested in continuous changes to their experience and the $VALUE of a customer to us is far to high to take that kind of risk.
- Practically speaking, we adopt the git-flow model and have separate deployment environments for integration (`develop` branch), QA (`release/` branch), staging (`tags/`) and then promote changes out to production, subject to suitable approvals/controls. I'm fully aware that this approach may sound cumbersome, but it's not in our line of business.
The point of this article is that people say "complete gridlock will happen", and it doesn't. (Not even close)

That reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend who works at Amazon in Seattle.

He says they have to fire guys in his team frequently because they ace the interview process by practicing it ad nauseum but are terrible software engineers.
Being frugal has nothing to do with one's income. Your advice to work a part-time job is no less irrelevant to frugality than his to engage in other ventures.
This was the cool part as others have noted. For the techies and nerds, # = IRC and it's like "cool, a nod to tech we know and love and now we have a replacement for". For the Twitter or Facebook generation it's a hashtag, "cool, a nod to something I use everyday and love using."
Uhhh, no. They are absolutely not testing IQ.

It is instead the opposite. These companies are testing the quality of "who has practiced the most for these types of questions".

It has nothing to do with intelligence. It is instead almost directly correlated with how much time you have spent practicing interview questions.

I don't know if any company provides that, but I would like to have access to my raw data (I guess, several Gbs worth or DNA pairs information) and use a different 3rd party of my choice for the analysis. (This way there would be a lot more competition for various ways to look at data).
By day, I work with scientific equipment. Most people understand significant digits. But they also have conditioned expectations related to the number of digits that they see, and the quality of the equipment or measurement. People just like to see a digit after the decimal.

This is probably the only part I'll give you as far as your comments on this thread, but even this is inane and you're projecting. First of all, the problems with take home tests are the time commitment, which I can understand with the caveat that you do a lengthy pair programming exercise in person. I haven't heard that many complaints about pair programming, but I'm sure I exist so I'll give you that.

I don't think it's the case that people don't like interviews. I think you're making a strawman. I'm not going to go and say that you're part of the cycle of SV engineer being hazed, reproducing it and exhibiting a sunken cost fallacy/bias towards the way you've done it, but it's possible. I don't think this is the ideal way to interview.

What's more, I've been seeing actual improvement on the state of the art in this area. Platforms like Karat et al (not sure if Karat is the best in this area but I did have a good experience with a company that used them and interviewed me well) are actually incentivized to minimize false positives and negatives rather than just one. You might be surprised at how much better a good technical interviewer can be than an average strong engineer.
Cameras are easy to find. You use red glasses (laser safety ppe) and a red light source. The type of polymer they coat lenses in is highly reflective in the red spectrum. With out getting into too many details you just shine the light around looking for strong pin pricks of red light. I've got experience doing this for over 20 years and this is by far the most effective approach 100% of the time.

> This part of the article especially seems like hair splitting considering the Balkans and Eastern Europe tend to have a lot of overlap. In fact, "Balkans" in particular is an extremely ambiguous linguistic term and can mean so many different things to so many people.

We don't have a good way to name the origins of populations. We use approximates based on nationalities which is probably a really, really bad proxy. Take France, where there is probably not a single part with the same kind of gene pool (germanic invasions from the North, gallic roots in places that were untouched, italian tribes from the south and I could go on) so "French & German" as a split means absolutely NOTHING.

Paraphrasing a comment I left elsewhere in this thread, but I've been seeing actual improvement on the state of the art on the much maligned and polarizing algo brain teaser interview. I'm not sure if Karat is the best in this area but I did have a good experience with a company that used them and interviewed me well, but I like that companies are actually incentivized to minimize false positives and negatives rather than just one. I try to tell other engineers that they'd be surprised at how much better a good technical interviewer can be than an average strong engineer, but that goes in roughly two directions: one group can see why the dominant mode exists but is curious about a better way that remedies the shortcoming of the dominant mode; one group defends the dominant mode and gets fairly defensive about criticisms of it.

Can you guess which group is better at technical interviewing and I've found more capable of handling the responsibility of screening talent in the past?
I wouldn't hire someone who cares so little about getting a job that he didn't spend the most basic amount of time studying for obvious questions that he was of course expected to be asked.

Such a situation would show me that he either does not care about getting the job, or is so arogent that he automatically expected that people who throw job offers at him.

That shows that this person has horrible personality problems and that I would not want to work with him, no matter how much he has accomplished in his life.

I like roles where I get to do both! I've found that a lot of problems come from these being different roles, and the developers not really understanding or buying into the vision of the architects (who might be able to see the big picture, but can often make decisions that make no sense due to being removed from the details of the existing implementation).

Of course in really large companies I suppose having these as a seperate role is a necessary evil. But I still think there should be much more collaboration and interaction between people in these different roles than I generally see.
Right, but there’s a massive global economy of trillions dollars of software being bought every year. The people that run this site invest in companies that sell software. I just can’t comprehend how you wonder if buying software “is still a thing.”

I can't speak for GP but I'm guessing they don't feel that taking the big picture view is their role in the interview process. In some companies the interviewer is just there to be another data point for the people who make the decision, and if their role is to just ask whiteboarding question it seems like looking at the resume could be the wrong thing to do.
It's called spoofing. I think there's nothing we can do about this except ignoring those calls and keep spreading the word to everyone about these spam calls. Almost everyday I find reports about such calls at sites like http://whycall.me.

Emphasizing how very much you are convinced I'm hallucinating is not an explanation for how too much mucus makes more logical sense as an immune system failure than too little. It also cites zero sources.

Also, if you are so disinterested, why waste any time replying to me? If I'm a nutter, downvote, flag and move on. Let someone else talk to me who doesn't think I'm a total waste of their time.
It doesn't mean _nothing_ -- it's just prone to the same type of problems and edge cases affecting pretty much every attempt at categorizing in a very complex system.
The patterns _can_ have a hold. It's always fun to optimize slow engines, but it always feel more to me like rote/busy work than actually building the system from scratch and engaging in product engineering. But, I guess that's kinda your point -- very simple solutions that revolve around simple, common core structures can lead to huge leaps in improvement. But this kind of real world optimization has medium breadth and depth. It's got a lot more breadth than many algo interviews I've gotten, and yet less depth. I've found that's been the real structural weakness in weak algo interviews I've had -- they just overindex on deep knowledge of algo optimization and underindex on communication, reading and design ability. I'm drawing from a pretty small and outdated sample, though; the last time I had the patience to interview with a BigCo was more than five years ago.
> It is, and I just cannot kid myself into thinking that killing a tomato is less or more of an affront to God than killing a chicken.

Just a reminder, fruiting plants make the fruit for animals to eat to spread their seeds. It doesn't kill the plant. With the exception of herbs and fungi almost every plant humans eat evolved to be eaten and often we only eat parts of the plant that regrow with the intent to be eaten without killing the main body.

I’ll ask a naive question. Could L4 in this context be used as a means to migrate Linux to a micro-kernel architecture?

What I mean by this is, run the Linux kernel on L4, then in Linux remove different components by calling out to a library (like virtio does) which actually puts a message onto the L4 bus and has that service handle the request. For example, running an FS as an L4 service.

Not sure if this is possible, but it seems like it should be.
My first reaction when inplementing anything more than a very simple algorithm is to google the best way to do it.

Of course, I could probably come up with a way to do it by myself. I could probably even come up with an efficient way if I spent an afternoon/day on it.

But why do that when I can google it, and get 3 blog posts and 2 stack overflow answers detailing the different options and the trade offs between them, most likely even with an implementation I can base mine off of?

That's why these interview situations are stupid. They're like school where copying is cheating, whereas in real-world situations copying is a great way of doing something.
