I hear you. The bigger issue is that companies are now giving technical interviews that previously would be a 2 week long in-house project, but now demand “proficient candidates” complete within 3-4 hours. They compromise by saying, “you can use any chatbot you want!”

My interpretation is that the market wants people to know enough about what they’re doing to both build AND fix entire projects with chatbots. That said, many organizations are only selecting for candidates who do the former quickly…

I think many behaviors are being conflated here: externalizing behavior vs internalizing behavior. People may react to the post with a notable experience from one of those.

E.g., if someone was recently chewed out by a Chad or Karen because some unknown events activated their externalizing survival strategies, it’s more difficult to feel compassion for them – and easier to dislike the post. OTOH, there can be people who self isolate and withhold their preferences to avoid activating events, because they tend to internalize negative emotions.

I don’t think the post is encouraging us to enable bad behavior, but reflect on others’ experiences. I can feel compassion for people in my life who have been hurtful to me, but simultaneously not want to interact with them to protect myself.
