The “accommodation” of having vim macros set up.
Yes, hiring is supposed to be “ableist.” I don’t want to work with or hire mentally limited people who couldn’t write a function in Notepad.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThe accommodation is allowing people to use tools which allow them to be effective. The ableism is finding people “mentally limited” because they may need affordances (often but not always) physical to contribute. Hiring is supposed to be qualifying. Qualified people using completely irrelevant-to-the-task assistive tooling is none of your fucking business. Unless the job you’re hiring for requires coding in Notepad, your expectation that interviewers do is discriminating probably illegally but definitely immorally. And probably also limiting your hiring pool in ways you don’t want. Not a problem for me in this particular aspect, I’m never going to seek employment from you. But disadvantaging people who need accessibility tools is shitty.
