But isn't that the recruiting process? Even Amazon prefers memorising past solutions and rejecting new or creative solutions.

If you can take the heat, public shaming always works and also makes other people aware. If you want to remain anonymous, moving on is probably the best option.

What happened to you is called brewdogging, named after a similar public shaming:

Ignore all the gaslighters telling you maybe the company didn't steal your idea and some fantasy happened where they thought about it themselves. They didn't, the CTO definitely stole it.

If it was me and I had proof I would send an invoice and then sue if not paid. If I didn't have proof I would just write about it and share everywhere and prepare to fight. When I was younger and more naive I also accepted it and moved on. That's also an option.

Whatever you do, be very very careful from now on. Job interviews and hiring changed, it's all about power and self-preservation now. The people doing the hiring will rob and destroy you if it makes them look good to their bosses.

That seems low even for 2009. Also, why is the developer the CEO and not the CTO? This is such a random example.

This reads like satire and his email to developers is very similar to spam.

I really liked this part:

I demand the best work from you. I expect the best from you. You will be challenged. You will grow. And your skills will sharpen. If you like to settle on being average and do average work, this is not your project.

Expects the best, pays $50 per hour.

You need to offer more, not less, bro, wtf.

This is it, this was 90% of my interviews so far. People barely smart enough to do the job that have no clue about anything.

So the problem is paying them. You want a founder for an engineer's salary.

Is this an attempt at marketing your DORA thing?

You should read the articles and not just the titles. It was never in production.

I doubt hundreds of thousands of people get their cards compromised every day. Maybe a couple hundred.

Even so, how is this a startup?

I may be bitter, but writing about shady companies and broken hiring practices is not trolling. It's a reality many people talk about and nothing will change if we don't protest and just accept it.

I didn't insult anybody. And I'm sure you will change your mind if you ever lose your job and the people in charge of hiring decide you're too qualified or too old.

The jobs are disabled. Is your post just spam?

Are these the same roles from last year? Maybe your practical interviews are not working if you can't find someone for a year.
