another POV is, it used to be cool to work for Google

it's been so uncool and harrowing for a while now, to deal with their leetcode BS. i mean obviously this guy is well meaning but didn't learn anything, other than for the paycheck and whatever desperate circumstances require that.

the LLM stuff being used to solve their interview process is an inflection point where it really steeply goes down to want to work for Google for any reason other than money

maybe this is why Google deepmind researchers keep leaving to start their own successful companies
