I don't even want to work, but unfortunately food and shelter cost money.

It's all a trade-off. Don't be a founder, but then you have to put up with crazy company politics, feeling of meaninglessness, having a boss, and so on.

Personally I don't think anybody is entitled to a job, though. Hence my "I don't even want to work" statement. People have to do something to survive, that is just reality.

I think they removed that before going on their woke crusade, because they figured it is actually too vague. Different people consider different things evil.

But for individuals, I think it is still an OK choice to make to not work for companies they personally consider evil.

But not "woke" activists, presumably.

Maybe your son would like a job board for jobs from woke companies instead.

I don't want to work in a job were activists can cancel me any time because I am a white heterosexual male.

For example since they fired James Damore, I would never consider a job with Google.

I don't like the activists, but I would tolerate them, if it weren't there nature to meddle and try to make other people bow to their will.

That's not implied by the existence of a special interest job board.

Many companies engage in woke politics and activism. How would you go about filtering them out on all the other job boards?

Why on earth should it not be OK for black people to use the service? And what is so "white" about it? Because black people are supposed to be activists and believe in identity politics? I follow plenty of black people on Twitter who don't belong to that crowd.

Have you ever wondered if is ok black people to use Hacker News? After all, it was created by white people? (I don't even know the skin color of the creators of "Unwoke.hr" - why do you assume they have to be white?).

Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted into the community.

People simply prefer to work for companies that are not evil. That's not "doing nothing", that's voting with their feet.

Same here, I just don't trust them enough to build on their API anymore.

Maybe some people (how many?) fail because of anxiety, but on the other hand, anybody who doesn't fail certainly has proven some minimal coding skills?

I usually took it as a positive if companies did some basic coding skill test, showing they at least cared that people can code.

Also, the people who fail because of anxiety, how will they fare in the normal job situation when they are supposed to discuss stuff on the whiteboard with colleagues?

Maybe the results could be taken as "give people who fail the coding interview another chance", but I wouldn't take it as "don't do coding interviews".
