a recruiter at a company reached out to me on linkedin, and then i went through 3 rounds of interviews at the company (including a very small coding challenge), and now it's been a week and i've not heard anything from them. i reached out the same day to say how well it went, i emailed two days later to check in, and then hit up the recruiter on linkedin at the end of the week, and crickets.

shit sucks, yo. i don't mind the time spent (i'm jobless, i've got nothing but time), but the lack of decency to let me know what's going on??? it's shameful and disheartening.

if you don't like my work or think i'm not a fit, you can write a single sentence: "Thanks for your time, but we've decided to go with another candidate." you can flower it up all you want, but that's the bare bones what to say! just say that dude, no need to be like this.

They gave me access to a small 100 line clojure cli app, and opened a 75 line PR on it, and were like "review this like you've been assigned it". So i went through and left a bunch of comments and questions (took me like an hour for both learning the app and reviewing the PR), and then had an hour long conversation about the app, the PR, my comments, and my philosophies on software development. It was much better than "can you reverse a linked list?" or some other bs.
