mastermindYou need to send an API Request to apply for a job in this company
“Blockchain Developer”
“Rockstar”
“Ninja”
“Hardcore Coding Bro Ready To Crush Some Code”
Where do I apply?
“Adderall-Chuggin’ Monster-Energy Fiend With Mad Full-Stizzack Java Skizzills, Brah”
“You write fast, efficient and safe code”
I don’t think any of that is possible on a blockchain.
HeartyBeastPick any 2
I only need 1: ‘Undocumented “feature” generator’
LlewellynWith blockchain? Pick one.
Ya I wouldn’t apply to any role at this company if I saw that, that’s a major red flag that their VC money has either run out or is about to lol
im a for loop developer
We’re looking more for “do”ers, not “for”ers.
Front end developer must have rage quit 😁
Who sends API requests if not frontend developers?
Basically every backend which needs to connect to external services. Like authentication/authorization for example.
Obviously the backend developer trying to test the API. Then creating an openapi spec and the frontend developer importing that to not writing the client by hand.
Besides that, that has to be the lamest DTO possible. They could have added some kind of skills array or an embedded address field to make it more than a flat object.
And no field to submit my API for answers? I need a phone and a pdf?
Maybe they respond with an ID that you can poll every 500ms for status.
Discord username lol
Twitter is even worse. I don’t have twitter, I don’t want twitter, I don’t need twitter and neither does anybody else. On top of that, twitter is dead.
exuIt says optional in the comment behind. Would be even better if they allow custom fields for Mastodon and Gitea links.
It is not even called twitter anymore
r00tyUntil they redirect twitter.com to x.com and not the other way, and actually change twitter on the site, it's still twitter but with a new logo.
I suspect eventually he'll do that though.
I never quite understood the point of twitter though, so never had an account. I dare say there's less chance I'll get one now.
For me Twitter was and I guess still is the best thing for immediate notifications of stuff you like.
I used it for notifications about preorders of limited editions, news, people, etc. It wasn’t perfect as some accounts are quite spammy but it was the best thing out there. RSS isn’t used as much nowadays, newsletter usually are sent at certain time or delayed so not very immediate and Idk what else is out there sort from those two (or using an equivalent social account).
Always will call X as Twitter. Same as Meta as Facebook Inc, Microsoft 365 as MS Office, or whatever other companies unnecessarily rebranding themselves these days with their ugly less iconic logos.
Someone linked to what appears to be original post about it, its from 2020…
But have your heard of x? *wink"
randintNot to defend Twitter, but if by “dead” you mean “dying,” well yes, gradually. If you actually meant dead “dead,” not really.
Here’s an article about it: dev.to/…/how-i-applied-to-a-tech-job-using-a-post…
The thing that annoys me is the response. It should return status 201 created and the id of the new resouce for future delete/update operations. Instead it returns 200 ok and some clear text. Wouldn’t want to work with such an API.
That's hilarious. Probably the lovechild of some clueless HR dude that thought he was a genius.
The cringe term "code ninja" supports your theory.
Also “rockstar developer” all they were missing is “10x Programmer” to complete the bullshit programmer labels trifecta
hikarulsiBecause “code slave” is no longer culturally acceptable for the same role
Hey, that’s me! I query my workforce data from the HRIS with M and SQL. In HR land, that makes me a super senior data scientist compared to VLOOKUP guy who hasn’t even heard of XLOOKUP or even INDEX/MATCH, that asshole.
umbraroze/serious Well, yes, most APIs are meant for system-to-system interaction, that's kind of a given. But since this particular API is clearly meant for human-to-system interaction, returning a human-readable response is adequate. Yes, a better design would probably allow the client to specify additional parameters about the desired response.
/back-to-jokes Yeah, well this kind of sums up most of my job applications. I send an application and the recruiting people are all like "OK".
At least you do get a response.
Highly understated comment
MatengorI send an application and the recruiting people are all like “OK”.
I always have a suspicion that all of the HR department are Rammus.
Nah, clearly all HR are orcs. I once got a “zug zug” as an answer.
/serious If you try with a non-human user agent I would expect it to return something machine readable.
That’s better than some I’ve seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be “error”.
Or 500 with the text “invalid input”
deejay4amI also notice that the job you apply for seems to be a different value than what is displayed on the page. Seems like the documentation needs updating as well 😔
You can book this as a service for only $499/$999 per month from a dodgy website with no company adress but bold claims about time savings. Lol. Source: applybyapi.com/#pricing
But the best thing is: you can’t send your open jobs by API. You need to use a rich text editor:
Post your job Upload your logo and use our easy rich text editor to make your posting shine. Unlimited job postings are included with every plan.
athlon…this is literally something an intern could write in a single afternoon.
Single Responsibility Companies are best practice.
I can write an API like this in like 2 hours, this is really not complicated.
That’s stupid. Any company who wants to hire people via API has the ability to set up the API.
CalaveraI turned over an interview because I had to sign in on the company’s portal, there’s no way I would do that for an offer I that I did not know previously what would my salary be. Imagine having to do that for every single application. Only if I was desperate after a new job.
starmanThat’s really nice idea
I really like this for technical roles. Or tech companies in general. That said, they don’t have any job descriptions or requirements beyond the API request so it’s not easy to tell what they’re looking for or how qualified you are. Plus there’s no posted salary range
The terms “super power” and “code ninja” takes a lot of the offers credibility in my eye.
Once had an applicant with “Excellent Excell skills” on their cv
Hey, I’m a senior developer with 25+ years’ experience and more languages and tools and stacks and environments and so on that is reasonable to list in a comment. In my decades of experience, finding someone who is legitimately good at Excel is a rarity.
synae[he/him]Cuz you either graduate to real programming and databases, or languish in some kind of hell where you work in excel all day and have to get good at it to save your sanity
“blockchain” tends to be rather iffy too, especially since it’s seemingly inevitably tied with cryptocurrency or something like it in some form or another.
hawkwindResume field would get an api endpoint that only returns a json resume, and only if the request header is application/json. And the json resume would have embedded json.
katy ✨To be fair, that’s one of the relatively tame and clever one of those.
deafboyI love it. If everyone did that, we could even write a sensible fontend for people, so they can look for a job instead of fighting with some sap module that’s not even properly translated from german.
SAP developement has become international, even the german version is badly translated. Paired with industry best practices (this is what Volkswagen does, with a little customization you can adopt it for your beauty salon) it will make businesses thrive!
