Interviews right now in software:

• Apply to job
• 1.5 months later receive email to take an AI-“proctored” code interview where you have to show your ID, share screen, cam, mic like some Orwellian njghtmare
• Maybe get a soft-interview with employees where they are just asking you about local weather while seemingly personable, but actually just trying to find out if you live where you say you live
• Possible technical interview with humans where it’s “pair programming” but actually just a human-proctored coding puzzle irrelevant to the job description and the “interviewer” is looking at another monitor surfing reddit
• Contemplate if homelessness isn’t that bad versus all this bullshit
• Maybe retail? Construction? Farming?
• Work at CostCo?

All to get a job to be a condom between Claude and source control as that other recent lemmy post shared.
