I'm looking at a company hiring for techs to work on neat aerospace projects. they're a contractor doing stuff with GPS and calculating orbits and stuff!
and they want you to know Ada. NOPE, EJECT, ABORT, NOT A GOOD JOB
it's not about the language itself, mind you: Ada is a perfectly fine language, even if I don't know it.
It's that the people who want you to know Ada are the people who thought it should be required for all new programming projects, like the department of defense
this job listing is trying very hard not to reveal that they want to hire you to make missiles
kinda like how Uber doesn't advertise any of their jobs as being for Uber's self-driving cab division (you know, the one that has killed at least one person)
they're hiring for a "autonomous ride-hailing service"
I don't work for ABC companies:
AI, Bombs, Crypto.
and the annoying thing is that some of these companies know that there's people like me and are trying to hide the fact that they're hiring for ABC jobs
@foone This but also D (Debt collectors)
@rinmari good point. I've never seen their jobs cross my job listings, but they'd definitely join the list!
