I'm a bit surprised to see folks mentioning interviews. Sure they suck, but HN crowd should just be crushing them.
And given the heated market employers should already streamline the process for their advantage.

Its incredibly time consuming and can also be quite stressful and dehumanizing, as you'll be leaving a lot of interview rooms thinking you're an imposter when the process is just awful.
How so? Most interview processes focus on finding folks who can solve totally arbitrary algorithmic questions that aren't used anywhere other than "Algorithms 401" at University.
While there are a handful of HN users that seem to gravitate toward that being a useful skill worth filtering for, the prevalent attitude seems to feel that it's outdated and asinine.
