This is the shirt I wear when I interview hackers (ignore fake prices, not an ad)
- fiaz 19y agoSince I haven't the slightest inkling what the numbers mean...to what does it refer? I'm guessing I wouldn't get hired... ;)

- jcromartie 19y agoThat's way too much to do in my head... Does the interviewee get to hack together a script to decode it?
- sanj 19y agoIt's more than that. It is a waste of time to do in your head. I like the idea of a minimal test to have them write a "decrypt" in their language of choice to figure it out.
- thorax 19y agoHeh, it's not required for them to solve it. Just they get a lucky shortcut if they happened to do so.
- Remmy 19y agoFor those wondering, it says, "If you can read this, you're hired."
- Tygerdave 19y agoWell.... "If you can read this, you're hired.(Null)" You might want to pad that out with spaces or make it "you are" so people don't think your name is Null or that the Null is the starting salary. At least it's not EBCDIC.

- Xichekolas 19y agoSure he can... we'd all qualify anyway!
- Wesmax27 19y agohow much is it really?

- thorax 19y agoActually, I have an interview story about one of the words you have in this particular text. By the way, the shirt wasn't a requirement for the job. It was just an added way to bypass the interviews a bit if they happened to decode it easily.
- dejb 19y agoI think it says 'only savants should apply, idiots are welcome'.
- LogicHoleFlaw 19y agoYes, but does it support Unicode?
