When the status quo is objectively stupid, it is right and just to complain about it. In real life, the ones who will do so are mostly just the ones who it hurts. So what do you want to happen here, if it's not just for devs to shut up about the insanity that's making them miserable?

While we might be able to argue that alternative interview strategies could be better under some set of assumptions, the status quo is clearly not stupid. These companies are hiring thousands of people and pulling in stupid amounts of money. The system works. Could it be better? Maybe, maybe not. But it clearly does work.
Man, imperialism sure has worked. Doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. Jfc.
i have no clue what you're saying

>In real life, the ones who will do so are mostly just the ones who it hurts.

you think people grinding LC that make it through are hurt by the process?

>the insanity that's making them miserable

as far as i can tell, sloth, avarice, and greed are making devs miserable (not some bogeyman called LC).
