Does it make sense to blur names when they're still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 82 points 4 days ago

And it's especially important here because that's the creator of FastAPI...

[-] Lux 42 points 4 days ago

Honestly blurring usernames when the original post was on a public website is completely unnecessary

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 21 points 4 days ago

And you could just google the text in the post and find it.

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 days ago

And it's a common enough meme that I've seen around for years, unblurred at that? That ship has sailed.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 80 points 4 days ago

Shit was out of hand checks post date FIVE YEARS AGO.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago

So he'll have more than five years experience now? Great, he can finally land a job.

Requires 9+ years of experience with FastAPI

[-] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 19 points 4 days ago

You need 7+ years of experience with shit being out of hand to make that call.

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 60 points 4 days ago

Serious question:

Why is their name blurred when they openly stated they are the one that created the product?

A quick search shows exactly who they are?

I’m serially trying to understand if this is an etiquette in the industry, or something? I’m admittedly ignorant when it comes to tech.

[-] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 14 points 4 days ago

It's the whole anti brigading thing. But I think if you're dumb enough to post an ass take in public circles, you deserve the heat. Mods just make it a blanket rule to blur out names so they don't have to actually read anything lol

[-] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

It's a common internet thing that's probably mostly done just out of habit, it doesn't have any purpose like 90% of the time, but is generally the standard just for those few times where it might actually help

[-] LemoineFairclough@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

Why is this image censored? This is a famous tweet and is easy to find: https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1281946592459853830

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago

As soon as I read it, I thought, who are they protecting. Surely it's not difficult to find whoever created fastAPI.

Took less than a minute with a single word query on my search engine of choice.

I just don't understand the internet sometimes.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Some places have rules against non censored names ane handles in image posts I think?

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

Can you tag that NSFW please

@tiangolo

I saw a job post the other day. 👔

It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦

I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since > I created that thing. 😅

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that "years of experience = skill level". ♻

[-] anas@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Woah, how did you figure out the censored username?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 4 days ago

Sorcery, I'm sure. Burn Fog0555 as a witch!

For reference, @tiangolo wrote FastAPI.

[-] levzzz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Fyi, i think you might've missed the part where he mentioned that

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

I have literally 30 years of Visual Basic 3 experience. Somehow, nobody is impressed.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

You can make a gui interface to track someone’s ip address

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 days ago

I love this post.

Really encapsulate the idiocy of some HR environments.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

My friend works as a Unix admin and his older coworker, who is paid way more than he is, is essentially useless and always slowing everyone down. Constantly asking basic questions and getting stuck on simple things for a whole day when he doesn’t ask.

Same with driving. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it if you haven’t put any serious effort into learning and improving after passing your pathetic, weak test 38 years ago.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm always horrified when people talk about how it's not that easy to pass your driving test (Victoria Australia).

Yikes, I hardly drive, rent a car when I need one, and I'm considered "good" by some, because I passed on the first try? I feel like the barrier to entry is far too low.

Though, such is life when you allow the city to expand to the ridiculous levels it has without adequate public transport...

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Here in Canada we don’t even really bother with parallel parking anymore. There is also zilch when it comes to training related to driving in snowy and icy conditions. You have to figure that out on your own, so long as you don’t get a stunt driving ticket.

The bar is so, so low and people still manage to limbo their way under it with astonishing regularity.

[-] catfrog@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago

No shame in asking questions

Tech fields are always moving forward, if someone has a question they should ask instead of guess

Further, older entrants with experience in older technologies have value that a company may need that newer entrants may not have really had the opportunity to ever work with. Deprecated technology still runs a lot of systems and companies will drag their feet in moving on because they have these older people working for them that, if a problem comes up they're going to deal with and the company perception is that it's cheaper than updating the entire thing to more modern solutions.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Oh I should be clear that this person is absolutely a problem. They’re far less effective at their job, don’t learn for long after the question is asked, and the value they bring to the team is, in some ways, less than a fairly young person. And yet they’re paid more because “experience”.

I have the same thing in my field(architecture and structural engineering firms) as a technologist. People who refuse to learn new skills with the software constantly hold back people willing to put in the effort.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Make no mistake, the career path has no bearing on this experience. It is ubiquitous in the workforce.

At one point in my life I was pushing carts in a factory, and some times we'd have to prep the material. People refusing to learn any sort of efficient way to prep the material meant they if they walked over to a cart that needed to be prepped I would change my entire workflow to adapt to being down a person

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I feel like this is almost every company ever. Incompetent people near the top being propped up by lesser paid people doing all the work.

[-] digdilem@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Sometimes questions like this are tests to see how you'll react when asked to deliver the impossible.

(I mean, it's not in this case, but if that's totally how I'd answer if I'd posted it and was challenged)

[-] AntiGuide@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

The amount of jpeg is respectable for 5 years

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Who asks for years of experiences of fastAPI? That's so weirdly specific. I doubt this story is real.

[-] stankmut@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Job posting requirements are done by a game of telephone where each person down the line is less technical than the previous.

A manager is able to hire a mid-level engineer, which their company defines as 4+ years of experience. An engineer tells the manager what technologies they use, bringing up fastAPI at some point. The manager then gives this list to someone who writes up the job posting who just puts 'requires 4+ years' on every bullet.

Nearly every job posting that asks for more experience than is possible or for something weirdly specific happens this way.

Yup, exactly. The job postings aren’t written by the people who do the job, or even know what the job does.

[-] mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

Nah, I've seen it. I just went through the whole job hunting thing again, and the main thing employers want (I'm a Data Engineer) is many years of experience using their specific tech stack. 5 years with dbt. 10 years with Snowflake. 6 years with FastAPI... and so on.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago

I guess there's lots of idiots hiring. We definitely state our specific stack as a bonus, but expecting candidates to be these magical unicorns that know exactly what you need... It's so insane. I much rather hire someone motivated to learn.

[-] syreus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's real, but it's just a rehash of a similar comment that has been shared by other creators.

One of the originals was with Active Directory so this thing is very old.

I remember this but couldn't find the image.
