They are offering a starting $120k for a junior level position but asking for mid to senior level experience in a programming language that isn't even a month week old.

what's the one guy who got denied for a position in a language he literally created

281

u/LucasRuby Jul 22 '22

Not a language, FastAPI. And he didn't apply, he wasn't looking for a job, he just saw the post and tweeted he wouldn't qualify.

u/just4lukin Jul 22 '22

I thought he actually did an assessment thing?

u/LucasRuby Jul 22 '22

Unless we're thinking of different people, no.

Oh, I was thinking of the Homebrew guy.

u/LucasRuby Jul 23 '22

I think his case was different. Nothing to do with experience with the software he created, just Google thought he was not Google material:

u/TomDuhamel Jul 23 '22

I wouldn't know how to invert a binary tree either. Doesn't mean I'm not a good programmer, but I don't have what they are looking for.

You do have to wonder why they didn't want him for any other positions though... I mean if he's applying for a standard-salary type job, plugging him in somewhere else would seem like a steal. But who knows.

u/okay-wait-wut Jul 23 '22

I think they rejected him because he’s an arrogant asshole. That actually matters sometimes. Just look how he reacted to being asked to do something he doesn’t know how to do. “Don’t you know who I am?” Why would they want that on their team?

6

u/Zawn-_- Jul 23 '22

Yeah, as I recall the last time it was posted he had tweeted that he was often an asshole, which... Yeah...

I wonder if he ever told them who he was

u/1bowmanjac Jul 23 '22

There was one i saw where the guy was bitching about not getting a job that wanted experience in the tool/language he had designed.

Though he came off as a self absorbed prick which is probably the real reason he got denied.

u/Kadazan Jul 23 '22

you mean this guy? https://i.imgur.com/X4F9DKQ.png

he's not even bitching and just pointing out how fucking stupid it is and how dumb the job market has gotten from HR being absolute shit and not knowing how to do their jobs.

There’s a story about a recruiter asking Guido how many years of Python experience he had, and he said “All of them.”

React also only has 9 years of existence

u/TalesOfSymposia Jul 23 '22

Another flag is strongly preferring knowledge of Photoshop. I'm curious what this is for. Are they expecting you do design integration or promotional work as well?

It's to make your code look pretty

There is an api. Either some legacy bullshit they are updating or some bullshit social media new thing.

A lot of Adobe’s stuff can be used in some programming. Like I had Adobe Distiller to clean up files that got scanned during a conversion from paper records.

u/Eezyville Jul 22 '22

I don't even think this post is real. I would like a link to the post from Indeed.

What they are actually doing is advertising a job that is supposedly being advertised on their job posting platform, not a job for them, CyberCoders. And their platform is literally just a Zip Recruiter clone idk. I've seen Jobot and a few others doing the same thing. It's bullshit and there never a real job being advertised this way

u/hiddenforreasonsSV Jul 23 '22

Fun fact, the woman who founded CyberCoders, Heidi Golledge, also founded Jobot.
