The present state of hiring processes can't go on, and so it

This already started in the 1990ies and got worse and worse, this
business of looking for the "perfect" candidate. A lot of skills
can be acquired in the first weeks (or months, depending). It's
better to train someone who's intelligent and innovative than
someone who's worked with all IDEs and build systems, but is
fairly un-innovative (problem => for loop).
