It is hiring time again! Srini has devised an algorithm for hiring at Taragana which I think very appropriately describes our hiring funnel:
if (isClueless()) {
goToIBM();
} else if (runOfTheMill()) {
goToWipro();
} else if (thinkUMLIsDesign() && bigAmbitionToBeADesigner() &&
chooseVariableNamesLikeTheLengthOfThisOne()) {
goToAccenture();
} else if ( appreciateDesign() && (knowJava() || knowPHP()) && isTrueDeveloper()) {
welcome();
}
I think I just had a conversation with a splogger wannabe. Read the gory details:
[15:54] Tbs: You there mate..??
[15:56] angsuman: Yes
[15:57] Tbs: great.. I am Tbs from [[Location]].. Can you help me out to get a auto poster for wordpress? there is a plugin available.. but i dont know which one it is
[15:59] angsuman: Why do you want an auto poster? They are normally not well regarded by the community and shunned by search engines. Your site could easily get banned or even booted.
[16:00] Tbs: actually, i need it for a worthless blog of mine .. i am just trying to fill it up.
[16:00] angsuman: Personally I don't encourage auto posters.
[16:00] angsuman: It is better not to fill it up then.
[16:01] angsuman: Why pollute the blogosphere and face the wrath of the community ?
[16:01] Tbs: yepp.. thanks for the help
[16:01] Tbs: anyway.. nice site you have.
At this point he lost interest. Sometime later he came back to ask me my personal details. I hope I have dissuaded him enough, at least for sometime.
