When I hear folks complain about programming interviews, I point to that.
The month I spend gearing up for coding interviews usually guarantees me a job, that offers at minimum a $10k raise. I consider that a very good use of my time.
Ho, but there is a solution to walk around the problem of job interviews being unable to select good developers: so let's avoid investing in being a good developer and fix the problem at hand and just be good at interviews.
Problem solved.
Brilliant!
Are not interviews kind of de facto selecting scammers by giving them an unfair advantage, then?
Is it not causing a problem of credibility of the profession, hence the of the value of our earnings?
Growth is shrinking, recession is coming. Will they keep people whose values are uncertain when time will come to get rid of the fat?
Of the developers you hired, how many nailed the interview process, then went on to being classified as a bad developer?
From my experience hiring candidates, the typical software interviews that I have been a part of, tends to produce very few false positives, and instead do produce false negatives.
