Something is amiss here...Developers make hundreds of applications to even get a reply much less an interview...While apparently, barely English literate North Korean IT workers are getting all the jobs :-) Time to praise the Supreme Leader on LinkedIn ?

I have gotten multiple emails from wonky email addresses offering to have me interview for jobs and they will take care of the work if I get hired. fake names tons of money for me. I just have to nail the interview.

My resume is shiny enough and I've gotton hired enough times im a good candidate for this kind of scam.

This feels like a very ham fisted approach for them though. 99% of engineers are going to ignore or not take seriously these kinds of out of the blue offers.

Seeing Primeagen featured on homepage is concerning - a financial database requiring absolute reliability doesn't align with someone whose brand is built on chaos and controversy.

brand is doing the same work as personality in this sentence

sorry to make you my QA. Its the first time using a pre tag on the blog. I didn't check it on mobile before pushing.

It's fixed now. Thanks for commenting and letting me know.

AI coding assistants are changing how we work, but they're not replacing the core skills that make a developer. What matters most is our ability to hold complex systems in our minds and think through their implications.

Maaaan, The NYPD will take credit for oxygen. Right now their talking like they solved it. a "combination of old-school detective work and new age technology"

it was an employee at McDonalds. McDonalds solved this crime. Like god intended.

The article describes these elites as arrogant overachievers that expect the lions share of success.

However, from the “elite” kids I’ve met I find it far more likely that they are suffering from imposter syndrome and will do anything to chase external validation to soothe it.

The children coming from these status driven institutions are less villain and more victim

Thats definitely how the article from the times reads. What is the point of higher learning, it's a gross mutation for it to become an ever tightening noose of status scarcity
