Ask HN: Who are the engineers that don't get hired?
All I hear about is how no one can find (good) engineers. I had dinner with a friend last night complaining that this is killing his company's growth...but they only make offers to 1/100 resumes that come-through. I've heard this before and don't think it's uncommon.
What's really wrong with these developers: undertrained, low mental horsepower, bad "fit", imperfect industry experience? All of these are true, but 99/100!?!
With such a developer shortage, can these companies really not get productive work of a slightly broader group?
Something isn't fitting together here.
