the great thing about applying for a lot of jobs is that you get to interact with a lot of workday instances, all of which are terrible. for example, this one parsed my resume and thinks my god damn name is Ryan Computing

HOT TRAVEL TIP: if you don't speak the local language you can actually just point to items on the menu and say "I'm Interested In This" in a perfect Alucard voice (complete with PS1 compression) and eventually they might kick you out

after your order every item on the Burger King menu you gain access to the Reverse Burger King where eveything is upside down and the enemies are harder

my wife showed me an instagram of a big lady falling off a ski lift and asked me if it’s real. the 4 extra pairs of skis for some reason on that lady’s otherwise empty lift bench were a dead giveaway, but also the account was called ‘funnyaivids’. anyway she’s not living this one down anytime soon

This ongoing story by Haus is fascinating in how people are responding to it in a similar way to how people reacted to I Saw the TV Glow. It's either "I don't get this" or "this is borderline traumatic and you are drawing my life" and there is very little crossover. It's excellent. It's horrible.

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

also he emailed me six minutes after the assessment to say "Looks like you scored less as answers were not much explanatory ." and then called me four minutes later to list each question from the assessment and tell me my answers weren't enough

insanely ballsy move for someone who hasn't worked in a year and a half and is in incredible debt. let's see if it pays off!

like I should absolutely be groveling for jobs that pay in fucking ham sandwiches, much less money. and yet dealing with AI that responds to "can you elaborate on this question?" with "Are you ready to continue?" is beyond me I guess.

I am still interested in this position, assuming that we can skip this automated process and I can interview with a hiring manager at (company). Alternatively, I can be hired at contracting rates to help you select and implement a proper automated screening process for developers."

Please. Keep it to yourself. If you were thinking it, and I know you were, I don't want to hear it. Trust me, I already know. I have already had three people tell me that I would "be so good at improv", in three days. Including my therapist.

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death
