To me, this looks like an analogy for the state of software interviews.



Even after Tim Cook said none of his best people have the obsolete degrees everyone covets, the focus and priorities of software interviews is perpetually: "please tell me your LinkedIn profile?" or "what was your college degree in, again?" as opposed to "oh you have precisely all the mad skilz to remake the world in Linus's image".


In all my software development interviews in the past many years I've been asked to state or demonstrate my skills and talents.


This is completely different from my experience interviewing.
