These kinds of posts make me happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I agree with every word with every fiber in my body. Sad because literally 100% of the industry as far as I can tell is exactly as how she explains in the article. I can't even remember how many phone interviews I've done over the past 8 months... Despite the fact that I have over 50,000 lines of code on my github account and 5 years experience, I'm told I'm "not what we're looking for".

The headhunter business, especially in IT, is already a huge one. But it's really just in its infancy. In a better world there would be sites doing the matching, not unlike online dating. I don't worry for you because I know there are several good fits for you and eventually you'll find one. But still, it really sucks. At the same time it shows there's just so much yet to be done...
