throwaway104076··on I am sick and tired of hearing tech companies complain about developer shortages
This person sounded really experienced, so I looked them up on LinkedIn. 7 months at their first company. 9 months at their current company. That's it, aside from non-programming jobs before their bootcamp.

The whole thing reads like inventing scenarios that didn't happen or embellishing them.

> A bad interview is when you ask them the definition of some specific thing in some specific framework like “Tell me what a closure in javascript is.” then treat them like they’re stupid if they don’t know.

Not that believable, but okay.

> I once had an interviewer ask me if I was a wizard with GO, C++, Rust, and C over the phone. Then when I said I had some experience with rust, he immediately cursed at me and hung up.

Didn't happen.

> Nobody in their right mind is going to move to San Francisco, California to be a “Lead developer” for only 70k with zero equity.

Are any companies actually trying to recruit like this? And is it successful beyond just throwing up a hiring post and not getting anything? I put in a limit buy of $3000 for 1 BRK/A on a whim once.
