I think a trend I've noticed (and also lived) is that many of Silicon Valley's technical workers (software developers, analysts, and data scientists) are starting to resent the way job interviews are held. Many of them involve whiteboard coding, recalling algorithms from scratch, and question foundations that are almost encyclopedic, on top of the more normal "let's try to figure out who you are" kind of questions.
How do you see this emphasis on more human skills playing out in more technical roles or perhaps, changing the interview process all together? Many of us secretly dislike jumping through ridiculous hoops, but where and when is it necessary?
