Ask HN: How do you define a good engineer?
5 by bsvalley | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I was wondering why companies judge candidates mostly based on the ability to solve whiteboard CS questions within a short timeframe and under pressure? Why don't we judge good engineers purely based on what they've built in the past? Or their ability to build great things, not to crack meaningless whiteboard problems? Isn't it the main goal why a company would want to hire engineers? To build great stuff? Then why don't we judge them based on what I just said?
