The only worse thing than a tech job doing something frivolous or deadly (95% of tech jobs BTW) is doing these obtuse leetcode problems.
The companies that do the most leetcode are by far the least innovative and the most mired in bureaucracy. Think about Meta, who asks you to do two medium Leetcodes in 40 minutes. They spent $60 million on their shit version of VRChat and Zucc pledged to spend $600 million on his AI bullshit that doesn’t even work most of the time, especially for anything serious. Meanwhile Facebook, their flagship product, is a slop-infested Nazi site, or maybe a Nazi-infested slop site, even more than it was in the past.
Meanwhile one of my friends works for a virtual power plant company. Sounds important, right? It’s a company that automatically pays Bitcoin miners to stop mining Bitcoin when the price of electricity rises corresponding with demand peaks. Essentially half-solving a problem that was caused by tech in the first place! The definition of a bullshit job!
I expect hiring will come back only after the bubble pops and interest rates are dropped to try to save the economy. Either that or if the corporations are given tax breaks. Of course at that point the prosperity of tech workers will come at the expense of everyone else.
