      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?"https://twitter.com/isthisthais/status/1020007666683281408 …

      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!

      that's true at some companies but not others. I think you're generalizing a lot and I'm not sure how you're reading that from the tweet you quoted.

          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.)

          the purpose of an interview is not only to convince a company to hire you, but to learn for yourself if you want to work at the company. I really don't see what the objection is. I don't code in my spare time. I found a company that doesn't expect that of me.

          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.

          It's difficult enough for me to explain to e.g. my wife that she doesn't have to lowball her salary negotiations when she's qualified. And that's just the *praxis*. When you get into ethics it's a whole 'nother quagmire.

          last word, since you don't want to continue: interviewing and selecting a workplace is a skill and it's a shame people are not as savvy about it as they ought to be. business is not a 100% honest and ethical endeavor and treating it as such leads to disappointment.

          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?
