I definitely agree with some of the points (job descriptions and onboarding are generally dumpster fires, to highlight just two), but it has a little too much of a stereotypical young developer feel for my tastes. There are fine engineers out there who aren't overly concerned about the dress code, for example, but care deeply about diversity, social good, and/or benefits other than basic salary.

There is so much more to technical hiring that a leader has to know about and consider. If anyone would like to read a different perspective, I recently finished a long blog series (~60 pages if it were a book) that tries to consider a more complete human approach:

Looking forward to reading your post!
