So this is what the skillset interview should evaluate. Can you use the modern tools to generate good product, and do it pretty quick. Do you seem mentally stable enough to work well with people remotely, and conscientious enough to spend the time on it you are being paid for.
That's way too logical and clearly though out.
I mean, I don't see how it helps me rant against either Republicans or tech bros, so, really now

Our most impactful builders are successful regardless of how good they are at these tests.
That's really the key, isn't it?
Take the current employees you'd want more of, and see how they do on your interview tests. Seems pretty logical.

Do we know if these are mainly developing in the USA or elsewhere in the world? The USA actually restricts antibiotics by requiring prescriptions. Other countries that seem to have a greater variety of pathogens don't always apply the same restrictions, which can lead to more widespread use, which could increase pathogen resistance. Maybe some of these resistant strains are imported. I guess there's no way to know.
Uh oh, you said something logical and true. Prepare for the downvoting

The report also offers some good news: The CDC determined that the bacteria Clostridioides difficile, or "C. diff," which causes diarrhea and inflammation of the colon and can be deadly, is causing fewer cases year over year. The agency downgraded it to a serious threat, whereas it was categorized as urgent in the prior version of the report, which came out in 2019.

I saw someone call it cuckcoding because you just sit there and watch and I think that's a much better name.
Cute, but a more accurate metaphor would be that one guy is using Cialis, and the other guy is whining on Slashdot.

I expect a lot of these game companies to change to a system where:
1) You pay for a yearly contract to play ANY of their games.
2) Despite them having only one or two games that people want to play, in addition to 8+ crappy games that no reasonable person would pay to play.
This allows them to screw over people in a manner similar to what they do now.
You do know that you wouldn't have to sign up for such a scheme, right? There's no gun to your head?
