Resume optimization to get the foot in the door, take home assignments, automatic platforms verifying programming skills, algorithm and data structure teasing. This is getting inpenetrable. I wonder how many of those smartasses inventing another question or an assignment would be able to get a job again.

Somewhat related, I withdrew from an entry level physics course in college after only two weeks since the professor insisted on using an automated homework platform that cut your grade in half if you couldn't figure out the problem on the first try.

This problem isn't exclusive to tech.

I would argue that the reliance on technology have made people worse off and enables them to do the worst/laziest behavior.

The ATS are that bad because people spam their resume out. It's basically a spam filter. People skills matter. Most people don't want to do the work to get to know other people.
