Aditya Agarwa (Dropbox CTO) on X:
“One of our members recently ran about 20 work trials for engineering hires—essentially, extended, weeklong job interviews—and found zero correlation between years of experience and adaptability to AI tools. Another member told me that what predicted success in hiring people who possess that adaptability was evidence of a builder’s disposition: cool personal websites, side projects, an obvious love of making things. FAANG on the résumé and a name-brand university, meanwhile, predicted almost nothing.”
When knowledge is widespread, agency stands out.
