Pretty ridiculous. Aren't we having problems finding candidates? Why care if they use the most leet irc client or write irc bots? Recruiting people you find on

  Nah, that's just what we say to all those "diversity hand-wringers".

  Yes, today "we can't find candidates" means usually "we can't find someone that fits our biased hiring filter determined by the personal preferences of the senior developer" And yes, make senior people write FizzBuzz on a whiteboard, they find it thrilling.

    It's great when people make up these filters - it gives those of us who have no problems finding a job an easy way to identify places not worth working at during the interview process. I've told potential employees "no" more than once due to sequences of hurdles during the hiring process that were easy to pass, but told me very clearly I didn't want to work there. The more bullshit, the more likely it also is I'll receive and say yes to another offer while they're busy playing.
