And if we don't take a stand then it's going to be like that forever. We can't let companies continue to get away with this.

In the end they need devs more than we need them.

I say duty because it's our fault for not massively speaking up and demanding a radical change. We let companies get away with this, and it's not going to stop until we do something about it.

This is an unreasonable expectation. If it gets to that point then it should be a no-hire, don't waste the candidates time.

How do we fix this? It seems that everyone who claims to be actively working to fix hiring in tech is only exacerbating the issue (see hacker rank, codility, etc).

What a brave new world we live in...

Tinder only works if you are in the top 10% of males. If you are short (anything under 6 ft nowadays), a minority, fat, etc using tinder is an invitation to get your self esteem crushed.

There's no place for the average or below average men in the dating scene anymore. It's all about height,Wealth,penis size and overall looks.

Maybe it's just me but would you have any tips to overcome or at least come to terms with this mentality?

Those of us who have been directly affected by Castro's actions feel that justice was never made, his legacy is not something we want celebrated or glorified.

Yes, it was not all black but the black/white ratio of Castros's regime is more 80/20 than 50/50.

Please stop trying to humanize him.

Indeed how brilliant it is, how a government steps all over their citizens rights.

As someone who lived in Venezuela during Chavez's regime things were anything but "Kosher" and "Happy".

These are EVIL individuals who only want to make themselves rich at the expense of an entire nation.

It's been like that ever since the currency controls were implemented in 2003, it is fairly well known that most if not all of the high ranked government officials (who have unlimited access to preferencial exchange rates) are behind the currency "black" market. The same government officials have their fair share of cash stashed away in tax havens.

This is beyond hope, corruption is not only endemic anymore but a neccessity for survival, unfortunately this will only end with blood, I believe international interference is a must in this case.

Actually, I its the shorter women who have higher standards for male height, the most "harsh" rejections (due to height) have come from short women.

Taller women have been friendlier/more polite but at the end of the day I still get rejected.

It feels like we are being treated like children and stuff like not being "real" software engineers coming from people who have contributed 0 to the existing code base really angers me (I am a very emotional/passionate person though).

Nowadays the only way I can have intimate relationships is via prostitutes; however I don't visit them often as I can see through their acting, for once I would like to have an intimate relationship with someone who is truly into me, but then I am 33 and my libido is fading (yay!) I know that I will regret not having sex in my 30's and 20's in my 40's but I feel powerless.

Congratulations, not an easy task. The hiring practices of these companies are brutal (specially for senior engineers).

If I had your skills and experience I would start a startup offering help to 30+ engineers who are currently looking for a new role and need help passing these brutal and soul crushing interviews and sometimes need help even landing an interview in the first place.

Please teach me how to do this. I will pay you for your time.

On a side note how long are we developers as a collective willing to put up with this hiring fad? We seriously need to start shutting these stupid practices down, the OP is only one of many developers that are feeling the same way.

Enough is enough time to say a big FUCK YOU to the "big 4" and everyone else who wants to be like them.
