Your conclusion (if it can be called one?) is very odd. You mean to say, playing a silly game to job hop and make money is awesome, so you should all git gud? I mean, if that's the be all end all for you, I can't disagree...but I think the issue people have is that this process is a circus that relates far less to the work it purports to be filtering for than it presents to be.

Not disagreeing with you. Just saying that this is what it is. Either we learn to play the game or we don’t. These endless articles about the state of interviews in our industry might provide some solace temporarily but don’t change the fact.

there are a lot of ways to make money
