The descriptions in the ads are sometimes completely wrong.

Recruiters.

Mindless coding tests, which in my 18 years of developing software, I've never needed, apart from playing around on hackerrank.

Recruiters.

Some recruiters (aha mazon :) ) only caring about their own pockets and own roles, not caring if other roles might be better, because they won't get paid.

Recruiters.

Oh, did I mention recruiters.

Let me put it to you this way, when I want to apply at some company, I want to know who they are, what they are doing, what their offices look like and how cool the people are.

After all, it's team work, right.

Recruiters who try to block a natural process makes my blood boil, especially when they really don't know anything about the industry.

Anyone interested in doing something about this?
Reach out and maybe we can change the world :D

Yes. I have some ideas which I've ignored for too long.
