  • This has similar vibes to that scene from 30 Rock when Tracy was making a movie starring Harriet Tubman, starring Octavia Spencer. They meet on set and Tracy says, “Octavia, good, you’re black.”

    (Octavia later announces she doesn’t like “Tubman”, and demands they change the name to “Tubgirl”; 30 Rock was fucking inspired.)


  • Wow, I would pass on this job so fast.

    Not because it’s hard to fire up curl or something, but because any company that thinks this is a better solution than a human reviewing a resume needs to be smacked. Because you know what the very next step is? They’re going to ask for a resume, and then make you sit through that bullshit where you type your resume into a hundred different boxes into their candidate management system / workday / talento / etc., and promise to “get back to you soon.”

    You know how you can check if a candidate can interact with an API? Send them a coding test. Ask questions. Do some whiteboarding with them. This sort of shit is just some HR lackey ninja thinking they’re clever and edgy.
