If Carpenters Were Hired Like Programmers (2013)

4 hours ago
  • The article uses a joke comparing carpentry interviews to programming interviews to highlight absurd hiring practices.
  • Interviewers ask overly specific questions about irrelevant details (e.g., experience with specific wood colors) while ignoring general competence.
  • The carpenter's broad skills are dismissed in favor of narrow, superficial qualifications.
  • The final hiring decision is based on irrelevant criteria and cost-cutting, not actual ability.
