Hiring: Full-Stack Developer for TikTok Scraping & Editing Tool (Vercel, Supabase, FFMPEG, Nuxt.js) $2,000
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1j348bq/hiring_fullstack_developer_for_tiktok_scraping/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’m offering $2,000 for a skilled full-stack developer to build a bug-free TikTok scraping and editing tool, with payment released upon completion via an escrow service. The tool should download TikTok videos, edit them using FFMPEG (including adding captions and reordering clips), and automatically upload the edited files to Google Drive on a set schedule. The tech stack includes Vercel, Supabase, FFMPEG, and Nuxt.js. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/cloutboicade_ (https://www.reddit.com/user/cloutboicade_)

Does anyone else despise the technical interview? No other job makes you solve brain teasers and complex theoretical problems on the spot just to prove you are smart enough. It seems like such an arbitrary and silly way to hire people. I find it humiliating and insulting.

<!-- SC_OFF -->I used to be a Java dev at a Fortune 500. Now I do other work, and programming is just a tool/hobby to me. I’ve only been to a handful of technical interviews. They are ok if done correctly. But in general I find that it needlessly puts a lot of pressure on me and distracts from the real interview - asking each other questions about our respective work. I wish it wasn’t industry standard to make people jump through hoops in the interview room. In one interview, I correctly estimated in my head how far I currently was from the center of the Earth - but the CEO talked at me and criticized me the entire time and forced me to think the whole thing out loud. It was just plain stupid. Then they acted as if I was the weird one for being freaked out and sweating all over the place. Let’s see how you like it when someone slaps a dirty keyboard in front of you, opens up some weird webpage, and tells you to type some code now. Are there any other jobs that make you do this kind of stuff in the interview? I can’t think of any - not to this degree. Acting, music, art, I suppose, but not white collar professional desk work. I can imagine an interview for a sales job requiring you to give a pitch, but that’s nothing like this. You see what I mean? Why do programming interviews have to be so weird? Is there not a better way to select new hires without making them memorize algorithms and stupid god damned puzzles? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/hob-nobbler (https://www.reddit.com/user/hob-nobbler)
