The 2021 resume just being his name and 'JavaScript' kills me.
Worst part of this is the fact that both are the same company just 4 years apart ๐
Companies use AI to decide who gets the job, so the job-seekers use AI to get the job, so the employers use AI to detect who is using AI, so making these AIs ends up becoming an industry providing exactly 0 value.

you know, it's really nice seeing some lucky devs branching out to other fields like youtube skits so that they can make a more livable income
"Be happy you're not a gamedev". Too real ๐ญ
Worked as a SDET for 5 years at a company, got laid off. Saw position for SDET for a consulting company, applied, got hired, was placed working at my old company as a consultant doing the same job.

Good news, guys! I was laid off from the job I got in 2021 and after only 6 months, I got an offer at 40k less than I was making!
Applied to 400 jobs and have gotten a total of 20 responses back! All rejections obviously, but sure it's progress
Yes, I got my CS degree. Yes, I am looking into becoming something productive, like a bus driver.
"let me read the job offer first then i get back to you" i really said that in 2021 with the same level of confidence ๐ข those days
When I interviewed for my current job back in 2016 I'm told there were 16 others the recruiter presented and none of them actually knew much about software development. I was also the only one who used SQL. I had an interview recently and the technical went wonderfully, but then they decided they didn't want to hire anyone. I'm not sure what lesson to take from that.
At my first job in 2011, I was hired in a few days after my application. I did not have a chair yet on my first day, or a computer, only a desk. It was on the way with priority mail, and my second day was spent assembling my chair and computer. On the first month, I had 2 holidays. I paraglide and when the weather was looking good in the morning, I phoned in that I'll go paragliding. HR just laughed when I called in the morning, they knew what was going to happen. I was allowed to do this, because they knew it's very easy for me to jump into any job. Looking back, those were crazy times :D Also the best period of my life.
This was over a decade ago. I was still in college applying to Google. I was told to take off my tie as it might intimidate my interviewer...
Worst one for me: Intuit invited ~50 people to an 8-hour event of round-robbin style interviews, games, activities, campus tour, and orientation, all to compete for 1 job position. I'm still annoyed when I think about it and opted to write my own tax software instead of using theirs out of spite.
