You're Not Interviewing for the Job. You're Auditioning for the Job Title

not accusing the author, I agree with the article, but whenever I read prose like:

"In real-world engineering, simplicity is king. In interviews, complexity is currency.

Job interviews aren't assessments. They're auditions for a job title: The Architect Who Solves Hard Problems™."

it just sounds so much like it's written by ai.

almost, what you're seeing there is the too cute by half smug nugget of wisdom tone, which is really the trademark of the self-styled "writer", but because self-styled writers wrote most of the internet it has reflected onward in becoming the trademark llm tone. but there are still og hacks in the game!
