You know, I keep seeing people state this as if it was an established
fact, even developers themselves.  Unless the process has changed
drastically since I joined, the only lengthy part of joining is
potentially waiting for the recruitment team to catch up on their

the quizes and chatting with a recruiter I don't we're losing out on
much.
