@drh I mean, 'Unix' *isn't even a specific operating system'. Which Unix? Solaris? BSD? Bell Labs original?

Now imagine that whatever Indian telemarketing pool or AI this is, is also running most of Silicon Valley's service offerings. Because they're cheap.

@drh Worse: *just what kind of applicants are Silicon Valley companies selecting for, with this ridiculous guess-the-exact-keyword text gauntlet*?

They're sure not going to be 'creative minds'.

@drh Or else they're going to be people who are very good at lying to their managers and telling them what they want to hear, which also... is not going to be great for the company.

@natecull Yeah I found it super weird. What I found interesting is how disconnected HR is from their coders.
