  • The problem is they expect everyone to jump through hoops for them as if all the candidates are the same and they just need to pick one.

    Had a job posting asking candidates to go on a goosehunt to find pictures of a landmark at some coordinates they provided, under the guise of “this proves you have attention to detail”… sod off.

    And I don’t know why some posting still require CVs… like they don’t realize ChatGPT exists to write the fluff that they aren’t going to read.

    Seriously, job opportunities have almost always been a numbers game, there’s an opportunity cost to investing time in these games that could be better spent applying to more jobs.

    Ugh, having been on the receiving end, this type of belittlement is the worst, and breeds resentment, factionalism, and a host of other toxic elements in the workplace.

    Irrespective of the validity of his critique, prima donna developers are the worst and I would start looking for jobs elsewhere because programming is already stressful enough, don’t want to start worrying about the people.
