    Sigh… I’m trying not to get too caught up in whether what I’m reading is AI or human generated these days, but either way I’m sad to have wasted time on this article.

    The whole thing is based on a single Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/1f8x5ma/world_record_rejection/

    The article adds absolutely nothing original to the conversation, and actually makes up some easily disproven facts for extra faux outrage.

    But HR had set up the system to look for developers with expertise in not only the wrong development software but a development software THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.

    "They were looking for an AngularJS developer," he wrote, "while we were looking for an Angular one (different frameworks, similar names)." AngularJS was discontinued in 2010. In 2010!

    AngularJS was first released in 2010. It’s still actively maintained and hired for today.

    I also found it kind of funny that the Reddit poster’s grammar is corrected in all of the quotes. Anyway, I’ll not be reading anything from yourtango.com again.

      Not to mention how he regularly posts about how female engineers are inferior and wrote a "DEl mandates backfired disastrously" fanfic so cartoonishly stupid that even the /r/MensRights mods wouldn't leave it up. Doesn't really scream "reliable narrator" to me.

        Hah, I didn’t even look into the Reddit poster but that’s just the cherry on top. Interesting that the topic has been deleted right after these comments come in.

    "I created myself a new email and sent them a modified version of my CV with a fake name to see what was going on with the process," they wrote. "And guess what, I got auto-rejected. HR didn't even look at my CV."
