Pretty entitled freshly-minted BS degree, no doubt. Goes from wanting to work for Canonical to wanting to "punish" them by telling them to stuff it and then posting a screed to reddit -- all from just seeing the application questionnaire. Doesn't seem a good indication for conscientiousness, integrity, and tact, frankly.

> Doesn't seem a good indication for conscientiousness, integrity, and tact, frankly. Those things are for people. Companies can get fucked. They're a tool, and that's it. I don't practice tact toward a screwdriver. This application process is a joke, and warning other humans that this particular tool likes to waste their time is conscientiousness and integrity. Being kind to the people employed by them is commendable, of course.

  I am sure that is the exact attitude they are looking to filter out. And to be honest I can't think of any employer that is going to want hire an applicant that thinks they can get fucked, or think that what they do is nothing more that work for a "tool".

    Exactly. Also, a craftsman would treat their screwdriver with respect and care, too.

  Yeah, those things are for people, one of whom is the applicant in question. If you want something, you will have to jump through hoops. I'm not saying the hoops are legitimate, but you will have to jump through them anyway. My comment was about the person, not the hoops. If he really didn't want the job that much, then don't bother. If you do, jump through the fucking hoop. It honestly just seems like the person didn't want the job enough to invest in actually applying, but enough to bother publicly attacking a potential employer. What does this really say about the person's character?

What does this really say about the person's character? They're thoughtful enough to warn others. Even at the risk of people like you thinking ill of them over it. Rather kind of them, I think. [EDIT] Do pointed reviews of bad products bother you, too? Seems like the same thing, to me.
