The easiest jobs in the world to hire for:
* Serverless advocate
* AWS salesperson
* Oracle attorney

Don't believe me?
How to hire a serverless advocate:

Say something disparaging about serverless on Twitter. Your candidates will momentarily be presenting themselves in your replies.
How to hire an AWS salesperson:

Give the job to the first person who shows up. If they're crap at it, rotate them out in three months like you're going to do to the customer's account manager in any case.

What're folks going to do, go back to datacenters?
How to hire an Oracle attorney:

Find the handful of times your company has lost in court. Figure out who opposing counsel was, make them a job offer that includes yachts.

I'm going to break from my long-established pattern in this thread and talk about my past life: running large scale email systems.
I used to know postfix backwards, forwards, and inside out. It was my first real area of deep expertise. I can still quote chapter and verse from the SMTP RFCs.

These days I instead focus on cloud computing, specifically AWS. I scream at people to stay away from SES.
The right move for @ossia is to stay with SES.

If he's gotten it working and deliverability is high, he will not see ROI from absolutely anything else he does.

So @teamintricately has their 2020 Cloud Hosting Report out, and it's directly aligned with my interests. A livetweet reading thereof in this thread.
I honestly can't tell if this came out before COVID19, or they're incredibly good at understatement about "economic volatility." Either way, it works.
Their methodology seems odd to me. I mean yes, fine, you can get a hazy view of some aspects for web properties, but "we manage 4 exabytes of data in S3" is generally only visible internally. Maybe "a mole at a company" is considered a proprietary global sensor?

If you're using @codesignalcom's "Certify" product, allow me to showcase how profoundly abusive it is to the candidates you're supposedly attempting to woo.
It gives the candidate 1 hour to go through a set of coding challenges, which in turn are automatically graded. We'll skip past the part where "automated code evaluation" is far from a solved problem.
Here's where it gets shitty. The candidate has to upload a copy of their government ID to prove they are who they say they are. "You're probably lying" is a hell of a recruiting message to send early in the process.
