And isn’t it a good thing that that manager helped you realize not to waste your time with that company?

I see programmers are as good at judging whole-ass companies as hiring managers are good at judging whole-ass peoples

Which is to say, they are awful at it and will act like one observation of one characteristic is more than enough data to evaluate complex machineries

You tend to work for or around your hiring manager and that managers culture rather than the whole company.
