Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing.

First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!

I recommend 'ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no superlogical.jobs` if you have a public key and want to stay anonymous (beyond revealing your IP).

Why? Because if you use SSH to connect to connect to GitHub, your SSH public key is published at https://github.com/<username>.keys so an SSH server to which you connect could do a reverse lookup.

This is the reason why my ~/.ssh/config has those 2 lines at the end:

    Host *
    PubkeyAuthentication no

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I think Mitchell Hashimoto (ssh CLI command came from his new company's official site) can be trusted here. If they were doing Github pub key harvesting for analytics though, it would be a interesting tracking pixel equivalent!

"Hey, Linus Torvalds logged in 100 times today!"

"Woah, he must really want a j--- oh."

NSA and other companies historically had you jumping hoops and writing mini-exploits to be able to see the email you're supposed to send your resume to.

Or just write a good covering letter and email it to yourself.

Don't even send it. A draft is enough.

"I completed the Synacor challenge" is still a good way to get experienced CTOs' attention.

"I completed the Frobnicator challenge" probably works just as well. No one would want to admit they'd never heard of it.

I actually heard of that.

The ssh thing is really fun, but I wish they had another way to view the openings. I'm on a connection with massive latency at the moment and it's pretty horrible UX in this case

That’s probably not the type of connection they’re looking for employees to have.

I'm on holiday.

That's probably not the type of work/life balance they're looking for employees to have.

Haha it would be really sad if this was true, but your comment really made me laugh. Thanks for that!

While that might be tongue-in-cheek, no company I have ever worked at has had a better work/life balance than the earliest days of HashiCorp (low tens of people) when Mitchell was the CEO.

But could also be a good software tester if given any kind of remote connection support feature.

I assume that it should be quite straight-forward to make it work with https://mosh.org/ instead.

That's because you aren't using Ghostty as a terminal.

Perhaps they should build a mosh too.

In case others were interested, they are not a remote-first company and require you to live in LA, NY or London.

They can be remote. You need to show up in the office. It's not giving leadership.

I must admit that I paused before hitting enter on that command and thought to myself, "Maybe I should download Ghostty and open it with that as a virtue signal." :-)

Definitely as $TERM is sent by SSH.

You obviously should connect from Ghostty.

But try also `TERM=dumb ssh superlogical.jobs` for an alternate, monochrome, experience.

Undocumented keys h,j,k,l also work to navigate the UI.

Any other easter eggs?

It’s probably a good filter too for applicants

Yes, prefilter for sure.

probably also designed to prevent spam-AI submissions

Better be using ghostty ;)
