Are they saying that the same 12% of people eat half of the consumed beef each day? Or that 12% of beef consumers eat half of the daily consumption but that group’s membership changes each day?
If I eat a steak and cheeseburger in the same day, am I part of that group or am I never part of the group because I only eat beef 1x per week?
I would add that good writing is required for all career advancement.
Senior engineers or architects may do more design than coding and the design needs to be conveyed likely as writing and hopefully a couple diagrams.
Managers absolutely need to be good writers to communicate effectively, advocate for their team, and tell the story of the team’s work.
If you’re an engineer and want to have a higher level job than you have now, getting better at writing is only going to help. I’m not saying it’s a MUST because I’m sure there’s some outliers, but it won’t hurt.
I don’t think the pilots are being scapegoated when they ditched a working plane in the ocean. There were a lot of things that led them there and a lot of reasons it happened, but this crash was avoidable with proper procedures.
I've been doing this for a long time now. I present the candidate with a function (on paper) that compiles and runs. It does the job but it does everything poorly: an embedded connection string, leaves the connection open, no error handling, bad variable names, no comments, etc... EVERY candidate can find something wrong with this code and the things they pick up is informative. Juniors can find the easy stuff, more senior-level folks find the deeper flaws about the basic structure of the code like figuring that a lot of this is boilerplate that could be implemented elsewhere.
