every month the same fake post

I know of at least 10+ engineers with over a decade of experience that are refused without even being interviewed

fake opening.

you are looking for over a year and I know for a fact you rejected multiple engineers with 10+ years of experience after only seeing the CV without a single interview

Re:Ask HN: Tips for Interview Preparations with ADHD? on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @06:20AM (#42851145)
I don't think you had ADHD, I think you just had short attention-span from social network addiction.

I could not sit down to read a programming book even before smartphones were a thing, I would end up doodling on the margins, or staring out the window for hours.

The only way I could actually sit and learn something was when an external force set a hard deadline, setting own deadlines did not work either.

I now thrive in companies where I have a personal interest in the product or the tech used and have hard deadlines that push me to try to deliver (I might still miss them but I do a lot better than without them). I have learned and been more productive in a 2week crunch than in years. althought it comes at the cost of frequent burnout.
