SPOILER ALERT: Bartender is a software application used to read large number of barcodes, QR codes, RFID, etc. at high speed.

While that may be true, this is still likely an automated response built by a script that found some keywords on your profile. I still get the occasional proposition for RPG work, and I haven't touched an AS/400 in over a 20 years which my profile reflects. I haven't even touched my profile in years. But the script doesn't care about that. That's for the HR rep to filter out later if you respond.

Why you are no doubt correct; as someone who's had to support a BarTender based automated print system in a manufacturing company, this skillet need doesn't surprise me at all and is part of why the software gave me a drinking problem.

So you’re saying it would help to have both a bartender, and a bartender specialist on the team. Seems like we might be doing the bot a disservice here

Another example of corporate cost cutting, making the employees serve their own drinks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I'm still getting weekly emails (and who knows how many linked in messages) trying to recruit me over a profile I haven't updated in a decade...aka 2 years after I entered the industry

One of these days, I'm going to set up my AI assistant to respond. Who knows, with an even playing field maybe some of them will be worthwhile

For North Italia, a pizzeria?

Also, I looked it up and the software has a capitalized T.

Hey, don't you come round here messing up a funny misunderstanding with FACTS.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

North Italia doesn't seem to be a software company.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Unfortunate name. Is Bartender well known in the programming world? I wonder if they have trouble getting candidates.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

It's fairly well known in the Enterprise IT world; like others say, it does induce drinking.

people with art degrees are horrified.

stay in your lane, software people!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I thought art majors are designate taxi drivers.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

They're the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

Those interests usually mean you have good experience with alcohol.

Invalid type assertion to “Number.” Expects one of “Customer” Traits: CUSTOMER_IS_WASTED, CUSTOMER_NEEDS_MORE_BOOZE, CUSTOMER_IS_BIG_TIPPER, CUSTOMER_IS_STARTING_A_FIGHT, CUSTOMER_IS_KEANU_REEVES

As a front end developer this makes me want to drink.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As a backend devleoper, it makes me want to blame a frontend developer for how much I drink.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

We both know it's the project manager that drives us to the bottle.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Imiss my last manager, he bought the bottle.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I'm seeing at least 4 people that need to get full stack drunk together.

Wait... they want someone skilled in HTML/CSS, Javascript and SQL?!?

I hope to fuck they're using a node backend otherwise... the client scripts running in the browser are assembling SQL?

SELECT * FROM drinks WHERE alccontent > 0.15 AND type = "wine" AND vintageyear < 2010 LIMIT 1;

I might be missing the joke, but Bartender is actually a real program for managing barcode readers!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

All of those qualifications require that you can handle a cascade of requests and manage tables

It all depends on the amount they are willing to give me.

For my salary, I’d rather be a bartender.

It is because you'll be the Ender of Barts.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Bartender for a bar with a bunch of these.

Though Python, C, or C++ prob fits better.

This is why I deleted my indeed

You guys are making profiles for job sites and not just applying to companies listing there?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

My current job came from tossing my profile up on indeed. My previous one from Dice, one before that from an agent who found me online.

I prefer they come to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I'm an uneducated pleb with a certain set of skills. But you are correct

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Do you feel comfortable implementing pub-sub in our product?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

You could say the bar for a tech job is high..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Is SQL not a good skill to have? I'm an extremely strong sql writer in a senior position, but was going to test the waters soon.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're almost qualified to be a bartender
