But the job itself may not exist in a year, according to the job posting page.

There should be a sign somewhere:

934 days since people first started threatening that devs would be replaced by AI in 365 days. 0 day(s) since Anthropic posted a developer job posting.

Only one of those numbers would need to be dynamic.

In my long and quite happy and successful career in the adjacent field none of the actually good jobs were the posted.

Specialist headhunters handle that.

I'm pretty sure that was a fake screenshot made as a joke, not an actual job posting

Nah, it's real. I very clearly remember going to their site, with TLS enabled, and reading it myself. I see they've scrubbed it now though.

If you have the link for the page handy, I'd be curious to find the original revision on the wayback machine. That's too funny, especially if they've silently walked it back since.

I tried to find it on Wayback but their job page's SPA is broken on all relevant archives (roughly around March 2026). Maybe you'll have better luck.
