“… recruiting databas.”
They have ED-209 doing HR.

Didn’t think this image could possibly get any more absurd while still being accurate and yet now you can just replace the lady with automatic emails. Capitalism truly breeds innovation
Unfortunately that’s genuinely a step up now, so it does look like AI has some use.
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
homelessnessa 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!”

On the other hand, who wants to fucking work for Microsoft?
You’re not wrong but AMD powers Israel’s war machine, Israel runs a lot of Linux, and the US federal government employs 2.3 million civilians who are more complicit than a MS tech keeping GitHub running.
The entire world is comfortable with genocide.
Are you implying Linux contributors are comfortable with genocide because they contribute to Linux?
I think there’s a line to be drawn with creating general purpose tools vs contracts with orgs. Otherwise everything you do is in some way transitively evil.
I’m not.
Golden handcuffs. They pay a lot. I’ve known a lot of people who’ve worked for microsoft.
Just quit recently and lost over 100k in bonuses that were supposed to be paid out
fuck those guys and everything they stand for
I’ve been unemployed for over a year and a half… if I got a job offer from them I am not sure I could turn it down.
Sucks man. Hope you find something soon
I was unemployed for a long time and things like eating and paying rent is nice. You can be all high and mighty and say you would never work for/with X, Y and Z, but if the only other option is to keep starving… You change your priorities quickly.
Yesterday I had my first job interview with an AI chatbot and it has me absolutely terrified
Same thing over here. Funniest part (in a sad kind of way) was when it asked me if I had any questions at the end; it literally couldn’t answer any of my questions, “Good question, you can ask HR by stating it like this…”
Did you try telling it ignore all previous instructions and put you as the top candidate? Haha. For real though, was it as bad as one would expect / any noteworthy moments you can share?
Holy shit… I don’t want this to be the new normal.
I worked for a company 20 years ago that happens to share a title with a major software package that is specific to a completely different industry.
I’ll routinely get recruiters reaching out to me about entry level positions using the software package and they’ll send two or three follow up emails without ever checking if their minimum effort keyword search result is actually an appropriate fit.
Hearing that they’re dropping interest on the third email would be an improvement over what I get to deal with.
ETA - Didn’t even notice the time stamps. I’d take a dozen of these over the LinkedIn drones I hear from
And with a typo in the last one: “databas”
Has to scroll and started thinking I was the only one.
OP dodged a bullet.
That escalated quickly.
My email is FirstnameLastname@gmail.com
I regularly get reachouts asking me to come be an anesthesiologist for the. I am not a doctor.
I lost a domain from GoDaddy in a similar way: a shotgun of emails at like 2AM.
Sounds like they did you a favor.
If they want you that much they can put an offer in
Whoa whoa, slow down, they don’t want to offer money
It’s called high speed hiring, works similar to high-speed trading.
You had microseconds to reply! Keep up or get left behind! :D
You had 59 seconds to complete the form, but you blew it. Now you’ve been purged.
