Okay I can appreciate that point. I guess why I disagree is that while I agree that you need to adapt to new technologies, you should never need to adapt to absurd hoop jumping in terms of working nights and weekends just to get hired. Ie. I do not accept the idea that, "well x hours of interviews and code trivia is normal so you need to just go do that."

At that point I would rather die than adapt. I'll go do demolition with Peter Gibbons and see my kids evenings and weekends.
