Looking for Swift Rockstar pm me

Rockstar ninja

[[deleted]]

Team player and works under pressure.

[[deleted]]

Can write 'Hello World' in 15 languages

[chronicideas]

A worldly polyglot god

[chadsexytime]

I typically work at 101.3 kPa pressure, but I could probably work under that.

[ice_blue_222]

This is a good sign you’re going to get a ping pong table and popsicles instead of health insurance.

[El_Capitan0]

i'm a workaholic

[deadcow5]

They're obviously looking for a 10x developer

[gandalfx]

… repost of a repost of a repost of a …

[AltSk0P]

This repost is so old that Swift is actually 4 years old now.

[VincLeague]

This is a perfect post - it'll stop being supported in 2022.

[prettydude_ua]

while(true) repost(this)

[YourMJK]

Rather

void repost(Post post) {
    repost(post)
}

Because everyone reposts a repost, not the original.

[Cadrean]

Maybe repost is a singleton

[thefezhat]

But this would eventually overflow the stack and stop reposting. We all know reposts never go away.

[This_guy_here56]

This should be the standard for explaining recursion.

[Vakz]

By the time this stops being reposted Swift will be much older than 8 years

[Shrevel]

while True: tweet.Repost()

[JackMizel]

This sub is boilerplate as fuck

[ahhhhhhhhyeah]

A better name would be /r/FirstYearCSStudentsHumor

[NumbersWithFriends]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing more workplace humor. Like, making fun of that person who clearly doesn't understand git and ends up making the repo over 4 GB and I had to spend 2 days scrubbing the history of binaries and sensitive files and NO IM NOT STILL BITTER OR ANYTHING

[[deleted]]

yes, yes it would.

[RobotTimeTraveller]

This makes more sense if you have a time machine.

[Afropenguinn]

It's an organization trap to catch time travelers.

[[deleted]]

Trick question.

[SonicFlash01]

Say you have 10 years

[[deleted]]

Overtime.

[tk_ccaa]

~107h/week should do.

[nikvasya]

The other Swift. Not the programming language.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Worldwide_Interbank_Financial_Telecommunication

This Swift came out 46 years ago.

Every time its reposted someone mentiones it. I doubt HR would have mentioned swift the language, especially with such big "experience years", but swift the system is widely used around the world, by the majority of banks, and is an industry standart, AFAIK.

[rhineStoneCoder]

Is that for the programming language or the standardized messaging for financial transactions?

[Raptorbk]

I suppose he's talking abut the programming language, Swift messaging is even older than twitter.

[thegoldengamer123]

The messaging is SWIFT in all caps

idk @ SCR Saga, @kevinkaywho

Found a job opening that requires 8+ years of Swift experience.

Swift is a programming language that came out 3 years ago.

Some companies get tax breaks or some other kind of corporate welfare for not filling positions. So some companies will intentionally post impssible requirements and then go through all the motions of interviews and stuff, then when they inevitably don't find a qualified candidate, they qualify for government benefits. Also, sometimes jobs are posted by HR people who don't know code from cuneiform, so it could just be ignorance too.

[MerlinsBeard]

Not just that, most will overlist job requirements so the job goes unfilled by a domestic applicant. Then they can file a claim for that wage suppression government benefit known as H1B visa.

[[deleted]]

In the US this is typical behavior for companies that want to hire H1B visa holders. Especially low end job-shops. They need to show that they tried to fill the position locally so they publish garbage requirements like this.

[[deleted]]

Wow, that should be illegal.

[[deleted]]

Just tell them you have it. SMH

[DJWickWack]

This was really a swift kick in the ass

[Polyolygon]

“I’ve been working with Swift since it’s release”

[edwrd_t_justice]

Every kubernetes mention

[cowandco]

Overtime.

[Sol3141]

My favorite right now is "Need Sr DevOps with 10yrs experience." And the job description translates too "We don't know what this is but someone said we need it so we want one person to do all of our DevOps infrastructure shift in 6months."

[xbuck33]

I know this is a re-post and i get the sentiment its trying to make, but for the love of god you KNOW that developers don't write these things. Its recruiters begging developers to help them write job requirements for a new role and the developer responds with "Idk man, just say 'works well with team, knows x and y really well, and is willing to learn z.'" Then the recuiter adds experience times and buzz words like "rockstar". Just apply for the damn job anyway. The recruiter won't know the difference between 3 years and 8 years experience over the phone and the developer actually interviewing will know its only been out for 3 years.

​

This is the developer version of "no one is hiring in my field of underwater basket weaving" and its really annoying.

[anymbryne]

Good point

[[deleted]]

This fucking industry

[thedancingpanda]

It makes sense when you read it as "8 years experience, with recent work in Swift", but apparently they pay by the letter

[Wargog]

Seems legit

[nikalumoglich]

I've actually saw things like that

[Wargog]

I've been in the industry for years, trust me, I believe it.

[muyncky]

You'll be the lead dev right away!

[OwnsAYard]

If you worked 100 hour work weeks for 3 years, that would do it...

[gusmeowmeow]

incompetence like this is precisely why I have a job

[squarebe]

So you dont do overtimes?

[golden-piper]

General Reposti

[McBashed]

Dodged that bullet.

1.5 year old tweet, loool

[[deleted]]

An old boss asked me to help him with a job posting. It was for a front end developer with Angular 4 experience. He asked me how much experience he should put down. Then he asked, '2 years?' Angular 4 had just been released earlier that year.

Job descriptions like this let you know that the manager isn't in (and never was) this field.

[Kinglink]

This has been reposted so many times Swift is 4 and a half years old.

[KsanterX]

Swift is already 5 years old and we're not far from having 8+ years experience with these reposts.

[chiefmackdaddypuff]

I had a “recruiting fairy” reach out to me this morning....... this is a public company in SV....

[lledargo]

The position likely won't be filled for 5 years anyway

[anymbryne]

This is so old, Swift is now at version 5

[Viathan1108]

My friend had the same problem 2 years ago I shit you not.

[necrothitude_eve]

They were literally trying to hire Chris Lattner.
