Indeed. Some processing is good, but a lot of it just makes the food too easy to eat. I would argue that even processing food at home, such as mashing potatoes can be a problem unless you are careful about the portion size - i.e. remember how many potatoes were used to make it.
Conversely, it winds me up when products boast that they have no artificial ingredients, yet have colours or flavours which are mixtures of natural substances that have little to do with the products that they are being used to imitate.
Even those tests they give developers to do during the interview process are off-putting, especially given there's a talent shortage in many parts of the world. That said, good luck. I think this sort of thing will help most with the recruitment of graduate developers.
Thanks ticks. Out of curiosity I'd love to know what do you think should be the best way to filter developers when you make a Job post. Puzzles, Hr questions(tell me something bad about yourself) and other questions like ('how many golf balls can you put in a mini van) dosen't seems to be the best way either.
The ideal way to change is iteratively otherwise you create a usability problem for your experienced users, which is why you get those revolts. As far as I understand it, FB enhanced their service, whereas Digg reinvented itself, which is a lot more risky.
Most commodity furniture is like this, if you ever look inside a modern couch you'll be amazed how cheap and poor quality the innards are - I mean plastic instead of metal, and low grade wood that's holding the weight and under tension. I guess it's like most things in modern life, if you don't pay over the odds for quality, then it's all superficial.
