"CDC Cyber" made me laugh. Marketing seemed to be on point
Almost 40 years later, phone numbers are on the way out, DOBs are "illegal" and github and email are more important information on a CV.

I remember that.
"Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from..."
And yet recruiters frequently request them up top on resumes.

You might notice it's the same word from which 'Kubernetes' comes from, though Kubernetes is a more legitimate sounding word without the (modern) palatalization of C.
Weird, I feel the opposite way. To me "kubernetes" feels like someone couldn't come up with a name, so they obscured an existing word and hoped no one would notice. It's like calling "tumblr" "a more legitimate-sounding word than 'tumbler'". Why transliterate Greek the normal way when you can do it your own, less accurate way?
> without the (modern) palatalization of C
Huh? You could describe the change in Italian as palatalization; [s] is not a palatal sound at all, and the change in question took place many hundreds of years ago. Modern?

In the USA discrimination is 100% legal if 1) the group being discriminated against is not specifically defined as a protected group under law OR 2) it's a legitimate job requirement.
Requiring programmers to know how to program also discriminates against non-programmers but non-programmers aren't a protected group.
Requiring a stocker to be able to lift 30 pounds discriminates against the disabled. The disabled are a protected group, but it's a legitimate job requirement for a stocker to be able to move the stock around.
If you're hiring for a senior engineer it's not illegal discrimination because 1) it's a legitimate job requirement and 2) young people are not a protected group under law (only people over 40 are)
Nevertheless, once you go there in person for your interview, people will notice anyway.
I always go completely clean shaven with a bald head when I interview.
Or use a “functional” style resume.
