We haven't even gotten to the point of reaching the limits of interviewing for competence. This is in the Midwest, so nobody wants to work here, and the 3 people we did get apparently only know how to make the red squiggles go away like Koba said. I don't want to be an overly-judgmental douche (which is why I made that poll, not to shit on some random stranger), because despite me talking out my big fat mouth like I Know Shit *grabs belt, triumphantly adjusts pants*, I know I'm not a top-notch developer so I can't hold people to that standard. I want to be reasonable, but these "people," IF YOU CAN EVEN CALL THEM THAT, make it hard. They don't even have the decency to be hot and slutty or hot and gay. Literally nothing to offer.
I want to keep discussing this with you, however, it is critically important to me that you don't think I was being judgy or casting the world's ills upon you. Because there is a whoooooole other side of interviewing that I will get into with my next post hopefully later today about all the shitty things candidates do. And now that I think about it, they've wasted a shitload of my time over the last 10 years and I do sort of understand why companies want to protect themselves and not have four of their guys in a room for an hour asking questions that aren't getting answers out of people. |
