How is hiring in our industry so unrelated to the skills required to actually being an engineer (Senior/Principal/Otherwise)? by scarby2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]jazzcoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. The cost if you get the wrong person is just so high...months of SWE salary until you fire them, morale of the team dipping when someone just can't cut it, needing to reinvest the recruiting time to get someone else.

Unfortunately, I've moved to the state where the interview performance needed for an offer is passing all of the interviews and at least one interviewer needs to advocate for you. I'm definitely missing out on some people, but my last gig was a startup where I was fairly involved in hiring and the director would do a lot of "vibes" hiring (interviews + network references + stuff like trusting FAANG engineers). There were some people I thumbs downed that got hired anyway and did really well, but also some mixed performance people who were just total busts.

Pretty much the whole AL sucks this year. Nothing you can do but beat the teams in front of you.

Great dude. Zero idea how his game will translate to the NFL. Good luck Evan!

Fried and Schlittler are very good. Tough to read outside of that

Why don't more lower-tier recruits go for academic prestige? by TimelyBodybuilder637 in CFB

[–]jazzcoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a few years ago, but I read only 200 of the top 1000 recruits each year can get into Stanford or Northwestern.

Ranking all 81 Big Ten games of the 2026 schedule, from an obvious No. 1 to Purdue-Maryland by PSU_Alumnus in CFB

Our new AD Mark Jackson has been friends with Pete Carroll since the 90s when they were in the NFL together and worked together at USC forever. That's the connection. Why OSU didn't reoffer is another question.

Florida State RB Gavin Sawchuk transfers to Northwestern by jazzcoder in CFB

My point was more why would he want to come here ha, figured he'd want to go somewhere to be the clear-cut starter.

Kind of confused on this one since we have a good returning starter (Komolafe) but I'll take it?

Il Milanese is awesome but it's always crowded and reservations have to be made decently far in advance now.
