Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I didn't get past the phone screening from a company that I'm extremely qualified for in my niche field. I think it's because I was incredulous when they asked me to do a 2.5 hour live coding interview, along with 6 hours of other interviews. I asked them if 6 years of relevant open source contributions was enough to validate my coding ability and they said no. Glad they didn't waste my time actually.
They feel they can do anything because there's plenty of applicant right now. Three years ago they would beg to give you an anilingus just so they can talk to you
