What percentage of programming job interviews every went like that? They ask fizz buzz, they ask DP, they system analysis and design, and some culture fit. Maybe some people might ask this B-school type stuff but who is out there verifying deliverables of people from previous jobs?
Well you don’t see the real value of coding tasks during interview. What gets tested are your communication skills, how you think and express your thinkings. You will be working in a team so you need at least fit and work with others. You are right that no one cares about your FizzBuzz.
I think you are really just describing an outlier. Most people really do get hired for the first thing. This is a situation where someone went viral and got a job. I don't think this is sort of the rule. The thing about "proven ability to deliver ..." is just kind of cope recruiters tell themselves and other people. It's nice but its not how things cache out in the real world.
What exactly is the grand vision for this person. He uses soaring language to describe changing the world for his grandma or something. What is his vision and vision that all these smiling people in his pictures have of the world? Is it complete economic collapse? Is it the complete destruction of society due to AI? Is that really so exciting?
I think you are definitely right. People need to learn to be more resilient. People are in such a hurry to give over their lives to Sam Altman (cue the "decentralizers and democratizers").
This idea that it is so much more better for OpenAI to have all this information about because it can make some suggestions seem ludicrous. How has humanity survived thus far without this. This seems like you just need more connections with real people.
I think the problem you are having is that you are actually thinking clearly and rationally and are not suffering from this incessant brain rot that is the new normal.
How is that a good ideal? As far as I know Stallman, not that he is objectively correct, does not claim all software should be in the public domain, he just has what amounts to a strong personal preference and advocacy. The idea that someone would not be able to protect a work that they toiled creating is pretty repugnant and while i will probably be massively downvoted, this i the view held by most reasonable people.
I hear you but I feel like you (and really others like you, in mass) should not be so passive about your replacement. For most programmers, simply flipping burgers for money to enjoy programming a few hours a week is not going to work. Making a living is a thing. If you are reduced to having to flip burgers that means the economy will gave collapsed and there won’t be any magic Elon UBI money to save us.
