Can confirm. I have 12 years+ experience in Python and applied to the Senior Software Engineer (Golang) job a few weeks ago as I wanted to develop my Go skills more. Vacancy states "Proficiency with Go or another backend language (and willing to switch to Go);" and requests 4 years of experience. I got autorejected.

I replied to this vacancy on March 14th, but except for a confirmation email, I didn't hear anything. Is it still open?

I thought about applying when I saw this post last month. Cool product and interesting stack. But few things were a deal-breaker for me:
- no ability to work less than 40 hours
- very little room to work remotely
Overall the vibe of your FAQ page was a bit off-putting to me. Giving this as honest feedback, if you continue to struggle to fill this position, those are things you might want to have a second look at.

I think it's just in grams. You're "allowed" to carry 5 grams on you, so 7g wouldn't make sense.

This is true. Because we're such a small country, dubbing isn't viable (adding subtitles is cheaper). And I'm glad for it, because I can't stand dubbed things, but that might just be because I'm not so used to it.

I'm generally against state surveillance, but how else would you properly tax?

I think you just gave the definition of "true regex superhero". Best regex programmers I know have a similar workflow.

Regarding #3, I feel you. I haven't accepted it yet myself, although it's probably better for my state of mind if I did. Hope can be a damaging thing if it's never met.
