En India preparan para pasar las entrevistas, como ticket de supervivencia:
It is without doubt that India has produced a lot of good programming talent and software, but we should not ignore the elephant in the room: most engineering graduates in India are not fit for hiring. People everywhere on this planet are just slaves of their circumstances and the societal constructs which surround them. When push comes to shove (which is the permanent state for most Indians), we only care about one thing, survival. So, it doesn’t really matter how one gets a Hacktoberfest T-Shirt, as people don’t really have the conscience to see the consequences of doing that.
The problem is for most people gaming the system, that’s the actual system for them. They see hacking the system as part of the entire system itself. Things get so convoluted due to limited sources of information that people automatically think that hacking is just part of the process and something which is expected out of them. It’s a messy coordination problem that we have caught ourselves into.
Y las entrevistas, además, se harán peores…
Coding interviews will become harder. As I mentioned in my post, coaching industries will pop-up to help “crack” coding interviews, GSOC and maybe later HN posts. Trust me it is completely possible, all it takes is one Indian Google Engineer to create a YouTube video and say that he had X karma points on HN mentioned on his resume and that’s how his resume got shortlisted for Google.
