Hey, do I work for you?
You do now!

Learn bash. Learn jenkins. You'll thank me later
In a great place, the python symbol would be on both sides too. All the other ones are best just left.

I mean, just because they post an ad for a rocket surgeon doesn't mean they find one. At least in the US, compsci professionals do not have any trouble finding work.
I’ve been looking for 8 months… I’ve applied for over 100 positions and had one first round interview.
There is definitely trouble in the CS job market right now. I spoke to a recruiter who had no new jobs on their desk in two months.

Thank you. Not super techie and just needed the meme explained.
And btw… sounds like damn good work if you can get it.
Until it's really unfulfilling.

If you’re in engineering, be an ml engineer or live in a hub is what it is

Feedback when you don't get the job: "They need someone who can be up to speed right away, and they thought your Grafana might be a little light."

A friend of mine was applying for a job where they required "at least 5 years knowledge with Angular version X.Y.Z" (can't remember the exact version, but they asked for all three numbers).
He said "I've got 7 years of knowledge with version X-2 to X+2".
The HR person was like "But you don't have 5 years of knowledge with version X.Y.Z, so you don't fit for the job".
The real fun part was that version X.Y.Z had only been out for two years at that time.

You're the first I've heard say that in a long time.
In the rest of the world, even the West, the picture is more dire. Americans tend to avoid hiring non-Americans, and had early mover advantage on computers and the internet.

Bogus job description because no-one was actually needed but the budget must be kept?

The absolut balloon of graduates isnt helping.

It's called Jenkins/Hudson
Hudson, now there is a name I haven't heard in a very long time.

Ah, I remember ops people talking about "Jankins"
This describes how most people have it deployed, yes.
It gets real fun when you have custom Java plugins, Groovy script, BASH script, Windows runners, and Linux runners, all in play at the same time. Much of which is held together with hopes, dreams, and unicorn farts, willed into existence by wizards that haven't worked there in over seven years. If upper management could even comprehend the level of deferred maintenance and haphazard software hackery that birthed this electronic Gordian knot, this unholy union of decrepit software and company policy, they wouldn't sleep. Ever.

I remember hiring for a test dev, writing the description for the recruiter, I included all the things I'd like to see. Python, test automation experience, open source contributions etc (this was for a public facing repo).
I get back a question a day later asking if they need Java or not. That felt really out of place so I walked over and had a conversation. Turns out they were filtering out anyone who had more than requested. Python AND Java experience? No thank you.
On the upside once we ironed that out I ended up hiring two people I've been friends with for a decade+. Sometimes the recruiters just need help.
Now the other side of things...I've definitely had recruiters screw up and lose very good candidates, but it was always for stupid shit like they forgot to send the offer letter for a week or they accidentally put them in the "no" pile.
Heh, this one time we got a recruiter ping our team out of the blue saying they had a candidate. No one knew what the hell the position was for. Turns out the recruiters had forgot about a bunch of openings we had closed like a year before, they just never took down the postings. We asked him how he found the job, and the candidate said he manual went through the thousands of open positions until he found one that fit him. He hired him after the first round and he turned out to be awesome.

Omg... I think I'm showing my age
