Why would you write a Reddit clone in PHP when Reddit itself is a perfectly fine open source Python project? Is their license not permissive enough?
"Warning: the following section involves googling usernames and reading the first page of results for the people involved. This may be unethical. I apologize in advance."
Obviously your apology means nothing if you are doing it anyway.
"Upgrade to Python3" is the usual defense to that, but it's not really practical for large companies with software such as YouTube completely written in Python 2.x.
I've seen cases where people have completely ruined products in ways like this. I don't think that anybody is actually saying that "broken" / "poor" features should be added just to be removed... Possibly unless you have been working with one of the people who require you to change things without unreasonably.
After you interview, they will ask what you talked about and what kinds of questions you were asked. This allows them to keep track of how the company is interviewing, and to give the next candidate more information about what to expect.
This will mean that the recruiter doing so will have a potentially higher rate of success than a recruiter not doing so, since the candidate has this benefit.
Honestly, it's a pretty good thing. It's just good recruiters exploiting bad interviewers. It's better to design your interview around each candidate instead of recycling the same comp-sci questions that you heard in college over and over again.
Companies are really just testing how often people interview in most cases, but don't realize how bad the process is. They are using the same questions that every other company uses instead of creating their own, and it usually doesn't find good candidates as much as it finds people who memorize interview questions.
Honestly, how did this make it to the top of HN?
We knew that this was a bad idea in 2002, so I don't know why anyone would think that we'd change our mind now.
