It’s unsporting not to kick a fascist when they are down.

Just because I don’t “have a master’s degree in computer science” and haven’t “worked in the field for ten years” or “learned anything about software” or “tried” or “cared” doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get to be a Senior Software Engineer!

"Never lie on your resume," say recruiters who mark jobs listings as "remote" when they require three days a week in the office, or use LinkedIn's "Easy Apply" feature and then email candidates who apply a link to the REAL (not easy) application in their own applicant tracking system.
