Instead, can we say that democracy represents "the will of the people, most of the time"?

One of the main problems is - How to know if someone is actually looking for a friendship? In other words, how to effectively filter out scammers.

I'm actually fine with coding interviews as long as they don't involve bespoke data structures.

"If you can let go of the goals, you can quite enjoy the act. Counter intuitively, the result is often much better."

Not necessarily. Research requires a different combination of skills - 1) ability to quickly read a research paper to get the main gist, 2) ability to estimate if a contribution is incremental or novel, 3) writing a coherent research paper, 4) defining a good experimental setup etc.

Man, there is no ego boost like interviewing several people who have 7+ years of experience and seeing that they’re absolutely inept.

Getting ego boosts from others' lack of skills can often cloud the recruiter's judgement about a candidate. This can result in not-so-great recruiting decisions sometimes. My two cents.
