Geek Bait

We employed a couple of fantastic developers a month or so ago. Part of our marketing strategy is to always try and pre qualify and de-market to those that won't be a fit.

The guys came up with this advertisement which we ran ... as is ... and the response was 11 candidates, all great but two brilliant finds. Total cost about $120 for an advert on seek. If they couldn't solve the code, they couldn't apply ... nothing else pointed to us.

What a great catch!

I've Tittered about "Kebab Friday" before ... see if you can see the embedded humour :-)

DISCLOSURE

I’ve joked for much of my adult life that if I’m going to hell, it’ll probably be for my spelling, grammar, and proofreading.

I’m not diagnosed, but I’m fairly sure I have some level of dyslexia, so yes, I use AI to help with my writing. While I write about things based on deep and varied life experience and ongoing study, the thoughts are my own, I do use AI to check my thinking and to help tidy up what I’ve written ... if you like a virtual editor. Trust me it's as much for you as it is for me :-)

I don’t like AI slop either, so while this writing is mostly for myself, I hope you find some value in it too.
