New comment by tagyro in "I verified my LinkedIn identity. Here's what I handed over"

tagyro — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 15:43:59 +0000

I almost fell for a very sophisticated phishing attack last December and most of the "verifiable" information was from my LinkedIn account.

For each role I had described some of the tasks and accomplishments and this was used in the phishing message.

Since then, I removed my photo, changed my name only to initials and removed all the role-specific information.

It's a bit of a bummer as I'm currently in the process of looking for a new job and unfortunately having a LinkedIn profile is still required in some places, but once I find it, I'll delete my profile.

New comment by tagyro in "Here is the 15 sec coding test I used to instantly filter out most applicants"

yes, they were (theoretically) a python developer, should have mentioned this was an ML role (your guess is right, slice just before the last char)

Just to be clear: the main problem is not that they did not know what `:-1` was - there are many weird syntax additions with every version - understandable.

IMHO the problem is that there's usually a single interviewer that decides go/no go.

We all have biases, so leaving such an important decision (like hiring an EM) to one person is, (again IMHO) ...stupid .

somewhat off-topic: I had an interview for an Engineering Manager position with the Head of Engineering.

They had some leet code problem prepared and I tried solving it and failed.

During the challenge, I used some python string operand (:-1) (and maybe some other stuff) that they didn't knew.

In the end, I failed the challenge as I didn't do it in the O(n) way...

These kind of stupid challenges exemplify what's wrong with hiring these days: one interviewer, usually some "vp"/"head of" decides what is the "correct" way to write some code, when they (sometimes) themselves couldn't write a line of code (since they've been "managers" for a millennia)

ps. they actually did not know what `:-1` means ...I rest my case

Using (Safari) screen reader (I do, I have a hard time reading text on white background), the `=` becomes visible

IMHO this is a dumb test
