An alarm would ruin my train of thought so much, this idea probably works better for those of us that can't control our procrastination.

I know I have used my hosts file (windows and *nix) to block those domains that server such good distractions.


Not necessarily idiots, If you are expecting someone going through and throwing out resumes to be happy that you know X languages worked on X open source projects think again.. That should be left to the person interviewing and hiring you.

To be hired you have to be able to stand out of the croud while fitting into what is required. HR is there to make sure the latter is true and once that is met see if you have shown enough to move up to the next level.


You've given a nice description of how pathetically little value HR adds.


That's an idiotic job, as you described it -- and really only makes my point for me.

Isn't this a good thing, if it doesn't get pulled AR apps will have to have different reasoning for being rejected.


Ahh, your comment is so innocent, so pure. It's cute, even.


I don't know too much about web whatnots but couldn't this be done through virtualhosts? like say ip/other domains go to nothing or another place, domain.tld/subd.domain.tld goes to the main website?

Or am I mistaken and this circumvents that?


Sure, if he wanted to block it completely. Or he could just do the redirect with a simple check of the Host header.
