| 14:10.53 | shalkie | youtah: So much truthiness there. |
| 14:11.12 | youtah | isn't it amazing? |
| 14:11.44 | youtah | I think I recall jlp_znc telling me that BYU had a server full of cat related pictures in the 90's |
| 14:31.51 | jlp_znc | yes, the LAL cat archive. |
| 14:32.50 | jlp_znc | there is a mirror still up: http://www.mono.org/~tannasg/LALcats/intro.html |
| 14:36.16 | jlp_znc | http://www.mono.org/~tannasg/LALcats/cats.html is the actual archive |
| 14:46.20 | programmerq | that's fun. |
| 15:42.30 | youtah | jlp_znc, did you click on that link I posted above? |
| 15:43.14 | spangborn | Don't do it, it's malware |
| 15:43.21 | youtah | your face is malware |
| 15:43.31 | jlp_znc | I did... it was quite true. |
| 15:43.33 | youtah | hey spangborn |

| 19:03.41 | jfindlay | do recruiters ever think anyone is going to respond to 'if you know anyone else who is interested in this role'? |
| 19:04.31 | jfindlay | I know almost no one who has a similar skill and experience profile and who would be interested in the role |
| 19:05.13 | jfindlay | when you multiply two small probabilities, the resulting probability is smaller by an amount of the combined smallness of both, by definition |

| 19:23.36 | spangborn | I had a good laugh at a recruiter today |
| 19:24.04 | spangborn | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/cjZddsev/1568817246.JPG |
| 19:26.57 | shalkie | I haven't updated my linkedin page to avoid stirring up the recruiter nest. |
| 19:29.30 | RyanE | I'm always amazed at the recuiters who find my resume on the web that I haven't updated for about 17 years, and still want to talk... :) |
| 19:29.50 | RyanE | Haven't needed a resume for almost 20 years, I'll get around to updating it if I start looking... :) |
| 19:30.01 | jfindlay | I've generally found that the worst recruiters work for the big firms |
| 19:30.32 | jfindlay | or rather the worst experiences are with the big outfits. They want so much from you before you even begin contact with the hiring company |
| 19:31.27 | spangborn | I don't bother with recruiters like that |
| 19:31.34 | jfindlay | that's part of the inspiration for why I have decided to describe the entire industry as engineer traffickers |
| 19:31.41 | spangborn | if they're not from the company that's hiring |
| 19:31.44 | spangborn | I'm not really interested |
| 19:32.08 | jfindlay | spangborn: if you are unemployed for over a year, you start to get desperate |
| 19:32.19 | spangborn | True |
| 19:33.04 | RyanE | Longest I went was about 5 months, in 2001. Bad times, we'd just moved into our new house... |
| 19:34.54 | jfindlay | if I was in that situation again, I wouldn't even bother. I know enough really good recruiters now and websites like interviewing.io make recruiting almost irrelevant |
| 19:38.03 | spangborn | I'm not really sure there's a thing called a "really good recruiter" |
| 19:38.11 | spangborn | They're largely parasites |
| 19:43.13 | RyanE | Never used one / never needed one. Hope to keep it that way. I'm sure there are good recruiters, just N/A for me. |
| 19:43.36 | RyanE | Every job I've gotten minus one were due to relationships with other developers / management. |
| 19:43.55 | BigBen212 | as long as they're paid on the basis of how many people they get hired, they are going to make those contacts |
| 19:57.16 | jlp_znc | usually they are paid as a percentage of your salary if you get hired, so they are motivated to get you a good offer. I even had a recruiter forgo some of their fee so I could get a higher base salary offer (I'm sure he was happy to get $x - $3k rather than zero). |
| 20:15.29 | Migs | I've seriously entertained some jobs from recruiters, but all the jobs I've ended up taking have been from CTOs or hiring managers contacting me directly |
| 20:16.39 | Migs | I feel like if the CTO himself/herself is calling you personally, you're already pretty much golden |
| 21:04.19 | jfindlay | I have definitely met some recruiters who are far better at their job than the average recruiter |
