Lessons from 3,000 technical interviews
I feel like things are operating according to the following pattern:<p><pre><code>  1. Go to college:

     a. spend many semesters in lectures
        all of which tangentially brush 
        upon the final exam based on the 
        whims of the lecturer.

     b. cram for final exam last minute 
        panic to crunch memory according 
        to advice on content which was 
        brushed upon during lectures.

  2. Interview for job:

     a. cram for interview by going to 
        coursera to crunch memory according 
        to interview memes based on the 
        whims of the interviewer.

     b. spend the rest of term of employment
        exercising skills which tend to be
        tangentially brushed upon during
        both interview and schooling while 
        the majority of actual tasks are often 
        googled and stack-overflowed
        into place based on arbitrary design 
        decisions and politicized stack
        choices.

  3. Results:

     a. good interviewees have learned 
        appropriate memes to reassure interviewers.

     b. good students have learned obligatory cruft
        to reassure professors.

     c. actual necessities are tangential to
        many or most entry barriers.
