Real mask off moment for capital vs. labor: &quot;If you&#39;re easily replaceable, then we can and will viciously degrade your working conditions. No need to pretend anymore it&#39;s about &#39;productivity&#39; or &#39;collaboration.&#39; We just want to viscerally demonstrate how much we can control you.&quot; https://slashdot.org/story/25/12/23/1836252/remote-work-is-officially-dead-says-the-worlds-largest-recruiter @slashdot

LeetCode-style interviews for most coding jobs: The job: mowing lawns. The interview: determine how to cut the most number of blades of grass in a 2&#39;x2&#39; grid using scissors with the fewest cuts and present the optimal solution in 30 minutes or less without looking anything up.
