There is a class of engineer who have little performance anxiety by nature. They simply don’t care and are normally blunt types who love algorithms.

And they are, frankly, pretty bad at writing code because they have little empathy for the reader and greatly inflated sense of self worth. They’re the kind to use complicated C++ features or algorithms for little reason. Essentially, smart idiots.

They also believe in silly things like LC being a fair and rational way to evaluate candidates and don’t see the bias at all. “Eugh she’s an ugly woman, I think I’ll give her the LC hard and little help.”

There is another class who realizes how stupid LC is, but are happy to play the game to quickly accumulate power and prestige. They usually have psychopathic tendencies and aren’t great coworkers.

LC is great at hiring these types. Feel free to stick to it if you enjoy having them as coworkers.
