Смысл: The text criticizes the use of absurd logic puzzles in Microsoft's hiring process, arguing that these tests prioritize theoretical problem-solving over practical common sense, leading to the employment of people who over-complicate simple issues.
The author argues that Microsoft's use of absurd logic puzzles in interviews favors over-engineered thinking over practical common sense.
Смысл: The main idea is that while logic puzzles may correlate with general intelligence, they are often poor and unprofessional tools for assessing job candidates due to subjective evaluation, the testing of pattern recognition over raw logic, and the disconnect from real-world working conditions.
The author argues that while logic puzzles can indicate intelligence, their application in interviews is often unprofessional and fails to accurately predict professional success.
Смысл: The main idea is that many technical interview puzzles are logically flawed and practically irrelevant because they rely on oversimplified assumptions that ignore real-world physics and engineering standards.
The author uses physics calculations to prove that the common 'heat the pipe' interview solution is impractical and argues that such puzzles are useless for evaluating candidates.
