grldd··on Ask HN: When did corporate America become so flaky?
It changed around 2015-2016.
grldd··on Ask HN: Why do I keep getting rejected?
My guess is you are better than the people doing the hiring. I have done a lot of interviews and the people in charge are out of their depth.

When someone with a three page resume comes in it makes them feel inadequate.

grldd··on Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it
Employers should use their brains instead of copying other peoples homework. Because that's how we got this mess. Everybody copying the same interview practices.
grldd··on Ask HN: Is There a Place for Generalists
From what I've seen only specialists are moved to management.
grldd··on Ask HN: Why do we assume animals can't conceive of a higher level conciousness?
We don't!?

Animals have brains and nervous systems, form communities and social relationships. And a lot of them use tools as well. This is taught in middle-school biology.

Get a pet, you will quickly realize how similar we all are.

grldd··on Ask HN: When both colleagues think the other is wrong, how to proceed?
Learn Leetcode, get hired and boost your ego.

You can now argue with anyone. Enjoy!

You described a junior.
grldd··on What can I learn from dumb feedback on interview rejections?
It's only frustration with the job search.
grldd··on Ask HN: How to find companies that build sustainably?
I have been looking for 3 years and haven't found one. I think only bad companies are hiring because only they have money. It's hard to make a profit from quality software products.
grldd··on Ask HN: Is your team or work like a dysfunctional family?
Every company I interviewed with in the past two years is like that. Every single one.
