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

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] emuspawn@orbiting.observer 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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!

[–] viking 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought art majors are designate taxi drivers.

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year 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.

For that to work, one must pronounce SQL as an acronym, not an initialism

Some people will be constitutionally unable to make that tune work

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

I would not fill my glass with string.

Sideshow Bob got a CS degree and now people are looking to hire him as a BartEnder

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

[–] frezik@midwest.social 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imiss my last manager, he bought the bottle.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

I'm a scrum master. Drinking now. A lot

[–] Rindel@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ____ 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are they based out of the PNW? Now that I think about it, I may actually have interviewed with them at one point.

ETA: Yeah, pretty sure it was them, they're PT and have a 425 DID for sales, and the company name is wholly unrelated to the product. Had forgotten about them entirely, and would have had the same reaction as OP to getting that email now.

And it probably is the sw product the email was referencing, since Bartender is capitalized.

[–] Flipper@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SVcross@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] odium@programming.dev 13 points 1 year 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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year 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.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

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.

[–] 1couchpotato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're almost qualified to be a bartender
