Do you have a link? Like, are they hiring unironically?

  AFAIK folks are adding this as a joke. Example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210705124241/https://jobs.lever.co/signal/2a5fee8b-5875-46d4-a41d-773a28a6b553 https://web.archive.org/web/20210705124241/https://jobs.leve...

    Haha > Must include considerable time spent within the Infinidash lifecycle (OpenDash acceptable). Infinidash is at the core of everything we do. Why yes, I have exactly this skill set

      Are they not worried about people seeing the joke requirement in the job spec, just not being aware of the current Twitter joke of the day, and discounting themselves?

        This is an archive.org link, presumably they have changed it back.

        It's still there.

        No, it's selecting candidates who are aware of the current Twitter joke of the day. They're either unaware of how small that bubble is or accepting of the monoculture this promotes.

        I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke. What it might filter out are people who don't find this joke funny, and might decide not to apply (and on the countrary it will catch the attention of people finding this funny and concluding Signal must be a cool place to work). Getting devs attention on a job offer is hard these days, so I guess spicing it a bit is fair.

        I, for one, wouldn't bother searching for a technology that I've never heard of if it were listed as a requirement for a job posting. I would just move on to the next posting. There are too many jobs that I am qualified for to bother taking time for a deep dive on a job that I'm not qualified for.

        To be honest I haven't ever actually looked for a job, but if I happened to read that annonce, I would absolutely check out wtf is that tech that is a requirement to work at signal, out of pure curiosity.

        > I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke. No they'll find more and more examples of the joke, and so keep thinking it's real, but never any explanation.

        I tried searching it, the original tweet is pretty high in the results. And the other results really don't try to hide to hard it's a joke :)

Those were joke ads that were literally a reply to the initial thread (that underlined that it was a joke) on Twitter.

  I was just joking around, hadn't even seen the joke ads...

No, they weren't. The ads listing that were clearly in on the joke (evidenced by the fact that the companies responded directly to the original joke Tweet).
