Hiring IS broken, unfortunately everyone isn&#x27;t realizing it simultaneously, so half of us end up speaking about it to the other half who are already employed and feel the need to justify their employment. Since these discussions never happen out of CS &#x2F; IT circles they very rarely propogate upwards to changing company practices unless the CTO&#x2F;CEO happens to read HN. 
You&#x27;re just further contributing to the rigged scenario when you respond like this.
