twolf910616··on Is The Economist Always Wrong?
I think that's the wrong way to look at it. They do have skin in the game, in the sense that their readers wouldn't want to pay for a newspaper that is consistently wrong. And, even if they don't, it doesn't mean that it's not valuable

How many words did I read in this article before I realized it wasn't written by AI? 10? 20? A paragraph or two?

It's quite strange that it's very easy to detect AI in writing.

How do you know you're not the midwit? To me it seems quite reasonable that author is the one over complicating everything, and in reality coding interviews are just not that bad.

[edit: they're not that bad in the sense that hiring is a inherently lossy process of projecting something incredibly complicated, like skills, personality, motivation, and situation into a 45 minute interview where only 1 or 2 dimension can be measured. If you increase the time/cost and do hire fast fire fast, then fine, you can get a better interview process, but it's not free. Other industries use stamps and certs to do that sorting, also not cost free. Coding interviews, yes we all hate it, but it's all a tradeoff.]
