I got my degree in CS a decade ago, but wasn't able to get my foot in the door finding any entry level position in the field. Had to give up and work a shitty unrelated job elsewhere, but after letting it drain my my soul for too long I've spent all year searching again. But no matter how many resumes I fire out into the void I have yet to get as far as even a single interview. It still feels like my degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The only thing recruiters want is 5 years of experience in some technology that came out 2 years ago, and I can't get experience because I don't have experience.

    Again, I'm not even on the list, you are lashing out at the wrong guy. I'm an outside observer looking at the situation and giving my opinion of what I see.

    The only one forcing themself onto other people is the dev who snuck in this secret blacklist and heavily obfuscated it without telling any instance admins or end users. Lack of transparency is the problem.

    I haven't misconstrued anything. Nobody knew about this until the whistle was blown. The dev even said in their own words that they were banking on people not noticing. That's not transparency.

    The longest battle in manga history is Akagi's mahjong match against Washizu, which took 20 years of serialization to complete. The match begins in chapter 70, published in 1997 and concludes in chapter 296, published in 2017. That's one match that spanned a total of 226 chapters.

    So if you ever wondered why the 2005-2006 anime just cuts off partway through the match, that's because they'd caught up and were more than a decade away from actually being able to finish the arc. There is a live action adaptation that ran from 2015-2018, and does cover the whole thing start-to-finish.

    Some films are made for turning your brain off and some films are made for turning it on. The important thing is whether the filmmaker succeded in what they were aiming to do.
