Nerds are weird. Why do you go through all this shit just to build something that’s basically useless?

Just lie on your resume like everyone else these days.

[A Former User]

@Gators1 Thankfully I haven’t had to submit a resume in over a decade. It’s going to be painful if/when I have to update it. I can barely remember what i had for dinner last night let alone what I was working on all that time.

Has to be a joke/fake, no? lol

[A Former User]

@Lob12 might be but it’s hard to know. There’s a real one from Twitter where they demanded X years experience in some library and rejected the guy who actually wrote the library (which itself was younger than the number of years experience they were asking for).

IT recruiters are (generally) really fucking awful.

I misremembered some of the details and conflated two different tweets

[Jam]

But he still got rejected!

Who’s the bitch!

As Hog says, I don’t think so. Imagine you are supposed to recruit people based on their capability to speak Chinese and you have a Chinese thesaurus and nothing else. I imagine that’s how most tech recruiters feel.

I don’t know, it’s just too perfect in a sense.
