I've thought about this @holman tweet at least once a week since last July.
Even when I've worked on things that are considered relatively hard (e.g., an algorithm that won best paper award at a top conf), the work hasn't been interview-style hard.https://twitter.com/holman/status/886428616694702080 …

To the extent that things are hard, it's been stuff like: Your TL thinks version control and automated tests are a waste of time. How do you convince them otherwise? Your team has 75% turnover in well under a year for... reasons. How do you stay productive?

On the flip side, when I've worked with people who are unproductive, it's never been the stuff people say interviews filter for (can't program, not smart enough). It's been stuff like: we sucked at helping the person ramp up, manager or senior team member was hostile to them, etc

fwiw I'm a recent hire in the oracle SEA cloud group you mention, seems good so far? (admittedly, not much basis for comparison)

What do you think now that you've been there for a while? I'd love to hear about this over coffee/lunch/dinner if you have time!

This is a great article
@danluu. Being both a dev and a manager I've seen this from both sides. -
.
@danluu A corp is in a position of power to influence the quality of their dev's life, in a way that the devs are not. - 3 more replies

"Google [...] found that referrals [...] don’t generate much signal." Do you have source/info for this? Was never what I heard.
