alt Hacker NewsI'm currently involved in the hiring process in our company, selecting engineers for my team. If someone applies who has the programming language we ask for in their CV, they get a first interview. If they can read code, and write VERY basic code, they will get through at least the first 2 rounds without any issues.
If people put down the AI, and actually learn how to write a `for` loop, they would be more hire-able than 50% of candidates.

There is a meritocracy somewhere in our capitalist system. Not everyone participates, but it exists.
OP was saying the only way to get hired is through work connections
of course if the process doesn't involve networking then we don't have a problem, we agree on that
