Why is this image censored? This is a famous tweet and is easy to find: https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1281946592459853830
As soon as I read it, I thought, who are they protecting. Surely it’s not difficult to find whoever created fastAPI.
Took less than a minute with a single word query on my search engine of choice.
I just don’t understand the internet sometimes.
Some places have rules against non censored names ane handles in image posts I think?
Can you tag that NSFW please
Sometimes questions like this are tests to see how you’ll react when asked to deliver the impossible.
(I mean, it’s not in this case, but if that’s totally how I’d answer if I’d posted it and was challenged)
I have literally 30 years of Visual Basic 3 experience. Somehow, nobody is impressed.
You can make a gui interface to track someone’s ip address
I bet you could make the best proggies though.
That’s a red flag that the managers have no idea what they are asking for and have no idea what it is they make. They just know the last person that probably up and quit to go be a in a completely different career was the only person that retained that knowledge.
as a consultant this happens all the time because companies use brokers to find people. the broker only has a vague description of the project to go on, and they are not a domain expert.
i was once turned down by a broker because i “didn’t have experience in C”. i had listed all the versions of C i’ve worked with.
Serious question:
Why is their name blurred when they openly stated they are the one that created the product?
A quick search shows exactly who they are?
I’m serially trying to understand if this is an etiquette in the industry, or something? I’m admittedly ignorant when it comes to tech.
It’s a common internet thing that’s probably mostly done just out of habit, it doesn’t have any purpose like 90% of the time, but is generally the standard just for those few times where it might actually help
It’s the whole anti brigading thing. But I think if you’re dumb enough to post an ass take in public circles, you deserve the heat. Mods just make it a blanket rule to blur out names so they don’t have to actually read anything lol
Does it make sense to blur names when they’re still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔
And it’s especially important here because that’s the creator of FastAPI…
Honestly blurring usernames when the original post was on a public website is completely unnecessary
Why do we blur names again and still properly link to the source xeet URL?
And you could just google the text in the post and find it.
And it’s a common enough meme that I’ve seen around for years, unblurred at that? That ship has sailed.

Shit was out of hand checks post date FIVE YEARS AGO.
You need 7+ years of experience with shit being out of hand to make that call.
So he’ll have more than five years experience now? Great, he can finally land a job.
Requires 9+ years of experience with FastAPI
I love this post.
Really encapsulate the idiocy of some HR environments.

@tiangolo
I saw a job post the other day. 👔
It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦
I couldn’t apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since > I created that thing. 😅
Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate that “years of experience = skill level”. ♻
Woah, how did you figure out the censored username?
Sorcery, I’m sure. Burn Fog0555 as a witch!
Wait, first we gotta see if they weigh the same as @FuglyDuck@lemmy.world
I feel attacked?
I’m so confused, but yeah, that ais a shitty tactic. Next they’ll bitch about no one being qualified.
For reference, @tiangolo wrote FastAPI.
@tiangolo
I created that thing.
…
okay but did you know that he wrote it? :O
Um, look at the URL for it. Or the FastAPI Github org. Or the top contributors to FastAPI.
He’s the creator and BDFL of the project.
Yeah no shit buddy. Read that post you originally replied to very carefully.
Fyi, i think you might’ve missed the part where he mentioned that
My friend works as a Unix admin and his older coworker, who is paid way more than he is, is essentially useless and always slowing everyone down. Constantly asking basic questions and getting stuck on simple things for a whole day when he doesn’t ask.
Same with driving. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it if you haven’t put any serious effort into learning and improving after passing your pathetic, weak test 38 years ago.
No shame in asking questions
Tech fields are always moving forward, if someone has a question they should ask instead of guess
Further, older entrants with experience in older technologies have value that a company may need that newer entrants may not have really had the opportunity to ever work with. Deprecated technology still runs a lot of systems and companies will drag their feet in moving on because they have these older people working for them that, if a problem comes up they’re going to deal with and the company perception is that it’s cheaper than updating the entire thing to more modern solutions.
Oh I should be clear that this person is absolutely a problem. They’re far less effective at their job, don’t learn for long after the question is asked, and the value they bring to the team is, in some ways, less than a fairly young person. And yet they’re paid more because “experience”.
I have the same thing in my field(architecture and structural engineering firms) as a technologist. People who refuse to learn new skills with the software constantly hold back people willing to put in the effort.
Make no mistake, the career path has no bearing on this experience. It is ubiquitous in the workforce.
At one point in my life I was pushing carts in a factory, and some times we’d have to prep the material. People refusing to learn any sort of efficient way to prep the material meant they if they walked over to a cart that needed to be prepped I would change my entire workflow to adapt to being down a person
I feel like this is almost every company ever. Incompetent people near the top being propped up by lesser paid people doing all the work.
Hope you told them that you were the creator
The amount of jpeg is respectable for 5 years
Who asks for years of experiences of fastAPI? That’s so weirdly specific. I doubt this story is real.
Job posting requirements are done by a game of telephone where each person down the line is less technical than the previous.
A manager is able to hire a mid-level engineer, which their company defines as 4+ years of experience. An engineer tells the manager what technologies they use, bringing up fastAPI at some point. The manager then gives this list to someone who writes up the job posting who just puts ‘requires 4+ years’ on every bullet.
Nearly every job posting that asks for more experience than is possible or for something weirdly specific happens this way.
Yup, exactly. The job postings aren’t written by the people who do the job, or even know what the job does.
It’s real, but it’s just a rehash of a similar comment that has been shared by other creators.
One of the originals was with Active Directory so this thing is very old.
Nah, I’ve seen it. I just went through the whole job hunting thing again, and the main thing employers want (I’m a Data Engineer) is many years of experience using their specific tech stack. 5 years with dbt. 10 years with Snowflake. 6 years with FastAPI… and so on.
I guess there’s lots of idiots hiring. We definitely state our specific stack as a bonus, but expecting candidates to be these magical unicorns that know exactly what you need… It’s so insane. I much rather hire someone motivated to learn.
