  • Meetings which could (and should) easily be emails or Slack threads.
  • Video meetings (especially now, completely inconsiderate of neighbors' bandwith), and failing to provide a call-in number.
  • Dev hiring managers who still haven't figured out (and have no excuse not to know better) that on-the-spot terminology quiz interviews, and timed, live coding challenges and whiteboard exercises tell you nothing useful about a candidate (and tell them - whether you intend to or not - that you and your company foster a culture of micromanagement).
  • Awful, convoluted architectures largely due to resume driven development (or just failing to look outside of one's familiar bubble, something I presented on last year).
