I couldn't give less of a fuck about any company or their "projects", selling a product is not a mission to empower users and help the world or some bullshit like that.

I actually kinda agree with both here.

It sucks working with someone who is utterly disinterested in the work, if it's anything above rote work.
Asking the candidate what they found interesting about it is at least a basically fine idea. If they can't answer when you ask, that actually is kinda concerning.
Big difference between asking and expecting them to volunteer the information.

At the same time, if the people interviewing you can't even pretend to show basic conversational courtesy by asking some basic "what do you do for fun" style questions or anything that shows they're gonna be interested in the person they're looking to work with, that's a major concern.

I agree with the content of this post, but it seems like pure complaining rather than programmer humour, so I downvoted it for not suiting the community.

Mods, what are you doing letting this on here?

Uno beeeoootttttchhhh. You know, everything's consolidating. There are very few mid-sized companies anymore. It's funny seeing the managerial class dig their own grave. Everybody thinks everybody's gonna leave everyone with the bag. Justice is always served. Don't have kids.
