Interviews right now in software:

  • Apply to job
  • 1.5 months later receive email to take an AI-"proctored" code interview where you have to show your ID, share screen, cam, mic like some Orwellian njghtmare
  • Maybe get a soft-interview with employees where they are just asking you about local weather while seemingly personable, but actually just trying to find out if you live where you say you live
  • Possible technical interview with humans where it's "pair programming" but actually just a human-proctored coding puzzle irrelevant to the job description and the "interviewer" is looking at another monitor surfing reddit
  • Contemplate if homelessness isn't that bad versus all this bullshit
  • Maybe retail? Construction? Farming?
  • Work at CostCo?

All to get a job to be a condom between Claude and source control as that other recent lemmy post shared.

  • Contemplate if ~~homelessness~~ a smaller competitor isn't that bad versus all this bullshit
  • apply there in person

“Walk into that startup and ask to talk to the CEO. Give him your resume and be sure to shake his hand confidently. That how I got my first programming job in the 1920s.”

"I now have 2 homes, a wife and kids, a dog, a boat, 3 cars, all on my 1920s programming union salary! Wife doesn't even need to have a job! Just remember to show confidence, it's easy!"
