> Just that fact that the company expects a candidate to even have their own machine is egregious.

In the company where I work (in recent history, the most valuable company on the planet), there are younger employees who do not own personal computers.

One of them was (with different company now) a Gen Z developer who did not personally own a computer (besides a phone).

I was floored. Still am.

For all its talk of 'meritoctacy', the bay area really runs on looking the part.

What, you can't expect a candidate at least have a laptop?
