README should be written by the author of the code, it this case it is fully LLM written code so let the brother write the README.

Also “README is for humans” might have been true awhile ago, these days README’s are being tailored to Agent as they write most of the code, not humans

Once the “biggest crime athlete can commit” became betting on own games / sport (this supercedes all other crimes including rape, domestic violence, mutilating dogs…) the sports as we knew it came to an end. I used to be huge sports fan, the watch-meaningless-regular-season-NBA-game-in-January kind… now it has been years since I watched any sports game outside national team matches

Why is this a problem?! I actually prefer to see README written by the author of the code

We pull in everyone from the Team who is available at interview time into a room with a big a$$ whiteboard and we talked to the candidate. We work through the problem, either current one we are working on or recent one that we completed or we have few "golden ones" we like to have a chat about. Afterwards the Team decides whether or not they want to continue solving problems with this candidate or not.

Exactly what we do on day-to-day basis is what we do when we are trying to grow the team. I would guess that 85% of my team would fail leetcode-style screening right now (which is good cause it is garbage)

> Such test filter out the obvious frauds.

if you need garbage like leetcode to filter out "obvious frauds" you got a whole lot of problems in your company/team/...

when facebook started out and was actual social network, for a short period of time it was arguably a net-positive for the society though…

If we were normal society company like Meta would be shut down and its CEO would be in Hague and prosecuted for crimes against humanity

yup! And no SWE in the history of mankind that can code has lost an employment opportunity because of it.

if those silly “puzzle questions” are important (they are not) they’d be a website where SWEs would be competing/hacking on etc - leetcode style.

no one gives a flying fuck about that if you can code - no one
