[pydry]

I've found that a lot of hiring is explicitly biased against skill. The root cause is mostly the hirer wanting "people like me". Or, at least, not discriminating against "people like me".

I'm sure a lot of people who hire developers think of themselves as people who could write open source but don't have the time.

This also accounts for why stuff like leetcode persists (the hirers were successfully selected by that process), why top colleges are often preferred and even why the profession is predominantly white/male.
