“Blockchain Developer”
“Rockstar” “Ninja”
“Hardcore Coding Bro Ready To Crush Some Code”
Where do I apply?
“You write fast, efficient and safe code”
I don’t think any of that is possible on a blockchain.
Pick any 2
With blockchain? Pick one.
I only need 1: ‘Undocumented “feature” generator’
im a for loop developer
We’re looking more for “do”ers, not “for”ers.
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
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.
But have your heard of x? *wink"
It says optional in the comment behind. Would be even better if they allow custom fields for Mastodon and Gitea links.
I 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.
Mmm. It’s not going to happen though. Even this company have failed at standardising their own API.
Key for twitter:
"twitter":Key for discord:"discordUsername":Why are they inconsistent?! Who wrote this? Who signed off on it?!
Oh, and for GitHub you provide a url but for twitter and discord it’s just the username?! But the twitter handle has to be prefixed with
. Why?!Just send it with both “discord” and “discordUsername” for compatibility.
Years later, we’re still trying to figure out which is deprecated and which is the “correct” field
Ambiguous fields, sounds like me fr
I bet it just ends up in some poor bastards mailbox anyway. :)
You could have different versions of the API that have a different requirements.
I wish we just had a standardized format for resumes. Then as you say various front ends could just formatted however was most convenient for the reviewer.
Besides it’s almost all handle by AI these days anyway so there isn’t a lot of point making it look flashy.
Such things exist. They’re just not widely adopted. https://github.com/jsonresume

Actually pretty cool 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.
“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.
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.
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
Honestly that’s more user friendly than 9 out of 10 application forms I’ve run into.
The best way for me to avoid this mess for now has always been an email with my pdf files attached.
Front end developer must have rage quit 😁
Who sends API requests if not frontend developers?
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.
API is not versioned. Also REST API should not use verbs in their endpoint. POST is already the HTTP verb –
/submitis superfluous.From the picture, it doesn’t appear they ever claim to be a REST API.
Cute but I mean… You just copy paste it into postman and fill in the blanks. It doesn’t really show anything, it’s just novel.
I’m not gonna be as cynical as the other people on here saying that it’s because they just want to have a machine/AI process your application. But at the same time I’m gonna be even more cynical, because if they think that machines/AI aren’t already processing your PDF resumes, then you’re crazy lol
You’d be surprised at how many imbeciles a simple step like this will weed out. Lotta unqualified people applying to everything
I’d pass so hard. Thank goodness the only “interviews” I’ve ever needed in 30 years have been the polar opposite of this kind of cringe.
I honestly enjoy stuff like this. I’m employed again recently, fully remote and decent pay thankfully, but I do appreciate stuff like this. It takes some of the monotony out of applying for jobs at least lol
That’s really nice idea
Reddit Execs hate this one trick.
X executives losing their minds (you aren’t signed in)
I refuse to call it “X”, just call it Twitter.
I like it, but it’s a dick move to require that the resume be hosted at a remote URL. Lots of developers don’t have their CV on a website, and one of the strongest devs I’ve met doesn’t even have a LinkedIn profile.
Support a file upload or just Base64-encoded data and you’ve got something here though.
I’ll never, ever, put anything on LinkedIn. It’s cancer
I can’t get past “Verbwire”. Like they picked the second half of the name, but then creativity ran out.
“I know you want a name ending in wire, but all other Verb-wire names are taken!”
Exec: “Verbwire, perfect! Send the memo out”
I think, its a good idea. And a cool way to open for job application
