Workplace Myths
Breaking down the popular lies about motivation, performance, and what it really takes to run a team that does not hate their job.
Your Tech Interview Process Is Trash, And You Know It
Six rounds. A ten-hour take-home. A whiteboard deathmatch judged by ego. This isn’t a hiring process; it’s hazing. And the best candidates? They’re walking away before you even see them. If your interview burns people out before they join, you’re the problem.
