@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It makes a lot more sense when you consider that Google's hiring strategy is basically "hire grad students right out of school" to have a dependable and predictable source of vaguely-knowledgeable new employees who don't ask too many questions and have no idea what they are actually worth
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (Which then of course becomes an ingrained part of the culture, the idea that only CS students can be trusted to do stuff right, even though the opposite is true in practice, if anything)
