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.

    “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.”
