Yeah this'll really attract the best and brightest to Dell! The leading supplier of mid tier office PCs! They'll be loaded with the best engineering talent in the world!


That's like saying the best and brightest won't work for Dell because they're looking for C programmers, or Java programmers, or programmers with a frontend preference, or backend preference. Totally orthogonal. The right people will self select into or out of the situation like any other aspect of a job description. Thinking the "best" talent is defined as being like you is just solipsism.


I’m not sure if that’s their core business to be fair, I always thought modern age Dell made money off enterprise support and servers mainly?

Though… that does make the stakes for losing good folks a lot higher as well.


TBF, Dell IME has had a nope-never reputation as an employer since the 90s so I am not sure this is going to push them further down the rankings.
