Either way -- in tech (and for some reason more so than in other industries) -- when it comes to hiring, it's head games all up and down. And generally to an extent far more than can really be called "necessary".
If you look at another perspective though, of people whose economies are collapsing, or people living under authoritarian regimes, it serves a need.
Or in a broader sense: "De-regulated money transfer of any kind" -- for which the costs and risks of a cryptocurrency transaction are an acceptable tradeoff.
But for vanilla payments -- apparently they aren't (and never will be).
Because it's a perfect language. And hence there's no need to improve (or whine and moan) about it. Which is what language conferences are normally for.
TODO: write a counter-compiler that recognizes resumes based on the stylistic "improvements" suggested by this tool - and mark them for rejection accordingly.
That's fine - non-quantitative (a.k.a. "gut") reasoning is a valid and useful cognitive tool (in certain contexts), in fact.
If I was to give a "gut" estimate for the overall deterioration of the subway service in recent years, though -- I'd peg it at closer to 30 or 40 percent than merely 20.
No one would consider suggesting it as a "replacement" for surface transport.
However, it is a valuable augment to the surface system. The point is that it helps "connect the dots" (providing more options for people to get from A to B) - hence making the system more effective as a whole.
There's too many of us. And most of the good land has been taken and/or ruined.
