About this site
It started with a LinkedIn post that made it to the top 1% engagement. The post in question recommends a Medium article titled "Why Senior Engineers Hate Coding Interviews" by Adam Storm. If you are in the tech industry it won’t surprise you to learn that a very, ahem, passionate discussion ensued. Some managers said the typical whiteboard coding interview is most effective. Some engineers agreed with the article and shared their own anecdotes. Soon we were talking offline and online about not just stories of ineffective interviews but also performance evaluations and interesting reasons why techies leave their job.
If this website collects a significant number of stories maybe a scientist or some PhD grad will get inspired to run a study . Or maybe we will just have a site to collect funny, sad, interesting, horrifying and amazing stories about the tech industry 😁
