You'd have to be crazy to hire this person. Let's check the boxes.

✓ Post dripping with entitlement

✓ Arrogantly rejects companies for reasons such as being located an an unhip suburb

✓ Finds offense in almost anything that happens in an interview

✓ Degree in Ethnography

✓ 6 month feminist coding bootcamp

✓ 6 month failed internship

✓ Fluffed up github with virtually no actual code

The lines of code to sexual harassment lawsuits/internet shitstorms isn't going to be good with this one.


If you remove the "6 month feminist coding bootcamp" line, this post could be mistaken for a summary of the career of a young Steve Jobs. Hopefully this developer has found a company where she isn't harassed by sneering bros, and then actually has the time to write some code.


would you really want to hire a young steve jobs for a junior software developer position?!


He was widely considered a genius so I think he could do at least alright in the role :)


What got me is the drawing on the CV. That looked so amateurish I felt ashamed from afar. Nothing against ones art, but when putting it on the CV it should be at least mediocre.
