This was some of the funniest shit I've read in a long time. 100% relate to the rampant cargo cult culture: "Oh, nice, I see you abstracted the clock but not using a mock in the tests, why did you abstract it?" ... "I read an article saying it should be..."

:sigh:

I recommend just walking into places that look interesting to work at and literally giving them your resume in person. Granted, I haven't done that since pre-covid, but it used to work well. I'd sometimes walk in and then just turn around (could tell immediately it wasn't a place I wanted to work). Sometimes, I'd get invited to lunch and get a job offer before the day was over. Granted, that was pre-covid, so in the days of hybrid/remote work, this probably doesn't work as well.

Anyway, finding a job is shit. This I totally agree with.
