Based on the process, Canonical is the choosiest beggar I've bothered to apply to in the tech world.
It was quite obvious to me I would be rejected, as the form is much more focused on "things that look good on paper" rather than "what this person can do", e.g. asking for your GPA.
This presumably reflects the internal culture which leads to a history of user-hostile decisions: snap, Unity, that Amazon fiasco. They probably looked good on paper.
I'm only salty because I think people with atypical profiles like mine could truly make their software better and more adapted to today's FLOSS world. Oh well, guess I'll just keep working on maximizing someone's profits.
- kube-system 4y ago> the form is much more focused on "things that look good on paper" What more could you ask for from a form?
- radlad 4y agoI think you're conflating "how should one answer the questions on a form" with "how should the form be written"?
- kube-system 4y agoThey're inherently related. The medium dictates the context of both the questions and responses. Trying to communicate things on a form that are not accurately communicated on a form is a fools errand. Interviews, code tests, etc exist to communicate things that aren't well communicated in that format.
- radlad 4y agoThe form could simply ask for your name, contact info, and availability.
- musicale 4y ago> snap, Unity, that Amazon fiasco. They probably looked good on paper. Hahaha. I miss Unity though.
