Seems obvious that this hiring process is just about finding particularly exploitable workers. A very strongly implied "would you go insane working ridiculous overtime hours?"

i started pursuing programming as a career for money reasons. i wanted financial stability for myself and my family. not because it was my passion. there’s no shame in that and fuck the gatekeepers who say otherwise!

I am reading that tweet as a critique off, e.g., "do you code in your free time?", and offering my own. And it doesn't have to be fair, since questions like that aren't ethical to begin with.

Companies will use any number of ways to avoid asking, but still answer, questions that are illegal to ask. (Sometimes they're legal to ask, but the interviewee would have good reason to walk out were it asked directly - so it's hidden, inside a different question.)

There are ethical ways to communicate such information. Asking candidates misleading or obfuscating questions is not one. Anyway, let's not continue this conversation. IME, this is a very difficult topic cross-culturally, for all sorts of reasons. I don't feel excited abt. it.

Fair enough. But now you said smth. interesting. I never said you need to be a dupe. My entire point: if you know you're being treated unethically, feel free to let the gloves come off. I don't answer unfair questions the same way I answer fair questions. Why would I?
