Show HN: interviewing.io is out of beta and open to engineers of all levels
I really wish there was more work done in changing the terrible interview culture in software, instead of doubling-down on bad practices with low signal-to-noise ratios.<p>It&#x27;s clear that whiteboarding and impromptu coding have little-to-nothing to do with real-life coding capability (let alone with generating real business value), while <i>actual</i> signals (e.g.: GitHub projects, OSS contributions, StackOverflow, take-homes, etc.) are ignored by interviewers. I&#x27;ve interviewed dozens of engineers and it&#x27;s always been a miserable experience because my hiring manager (or other senior engineers on my team) always insisted on using these kinds of &quot;grilling&quot; methods which were never good signals to begin with.<p>It&#x27;s a shame how our industry is the only highly-paid professional industry where this kind of sophomoric &quot;intellectual hazing&quot; is not only accepted, but also encouraged. I mean, hell, I have like three books on my bookshelf not about how to write <i>good</i> code, or <i>scalable</i> code, or <i>performant</i> code, but merely about how to pass interviews. Yuck.
