> I bet Crowdstrike's hiring process focuses on Leet Code problems and ignores practical considerations like, real world engineering considerations that matter when building an agent.
You are 100% right. What has happened is that tech companies have become filled with people managers instead of engineering managers. People managers don't understand what makes for good tech. They rely on proxies for everything.
Leetcode is a proxy, so is # of commits, or hours in office, story points etc.
A real engineering management is fundamentally involved closely with engineering and processes. They already have a large toolbox of good practices to lean on. If the CEO pushes something, they use this toolbox to demonstrate how it could affect the business.
People managers need to be called out and removed from the industry. It is literally a matter of shareholder value at this point.
