Today I was speaking to a coworker that told me they are interviewing a candidate tomorrow and are trying to think of RANDOM WACKY questions to ask like, "Batman vs. Spiderman, GO!"

was your reply that this kind of question is illegal as it's not related to the job duties or qualifications?

understanding or seeking advice on tax laws is a duty of the citizen

if a company is supposed to be withholding taxes on an individual's behalf it's the company's duty to ensure they do so correctly, not the individual's

i mean just go be a librarian then or something.

good luck with that, librarian jobs turn out to be hard to find and tend to require an MLS to even be considered

there was a "$0" option, something I only knew because a guy on my team got one and he took the last 5 minutes of a technical presentation to throw it up on the screen and profusely thank our manager for the consideration

how common are non-technical development managers in a software company? I'm guessing not at all for obvious reasons.

exceptionally common

fortunately it's not really something my employer does: at least in the parts of the company I interact with, management can do line employees' jobs up through the senior VP level (and often has done them)

Facebook recruiters finally stopped bothering me after I said I don't want to work to an advertising company or a company when the users were the product

if you aren't subject to a drug test it's because your company doesn't make any real products at your facility

lol or maybe it's because your company is too busy making real things to worry about bullshit like what you do for fun

also you might have an SVP who makes a weed joke during a product intro

we piss test on hiring but if we ever did it to existing employees we'd probably lose >50% of the engineers because we're in Colorado

ofc none of the managers care, hr is hr and insists

hr works for the company, if the managers actually run the company they should tell HR to go gently caress they selves and have more reasonable policies

You want to see some poo poo? I help maintain / write a ColdFusion MVC app.

In 2017.

Thank loving god the porting effort is going well.

is coldfusion still a thing that is being sold?

and do the people making it actually think it's good? like the small number of "MUMPS is our secret sauce!" idiot hellfuckers in electronic medical records do?

My dad used to do a 30+ mile commute from the far northwest suburbs to downtown daily on Metra, it was fine. Gave him a chance to read the paper and if you sit in the same place every day, you wind up part of a group of friends from all walks of life that'll last years.

Mountain View has these but they are beat-up old RVs. apparently some people figured out that instead of buying a $2 million house you can buy a piece of poo poo RV to sleep in and take showers and eat at work. and they are multiplying rapidly.

these are homeless people not tech bros

unless tech bros are driving up the prices on street-parked RVs now too
