"Tell us something interesting about yourself: what your favourite board game is, or your opinion on the divergence of the Game of Thrones TV show from the books, or whether you think Snape is a goodie or a baddie?"

That's code for "do you look and act like us?"

And this is for a non-profit cooperative, "of injustice, inequality and poverty fighters, coding to change the world"!
🤦‍♂️

@gdorn I wonder if we'll start seeing a sort of pendulum swing back from "this place is really *fun* to work at" copy, to "you can do important work here" copy

@karyl I think they're aping (badly) the sort of copy you see in a VC-funded startup. They shouldn't really have to sell themselves that hard. They're a non-profit doing what appears to be good work (not advertising!) and they allow remote developers. Put that message out there, and devs like me who are burnt out on startup culture will flock to them.
