Yeah I've encountered at least a couple of recruiter companies who were really weird and gave me bad vibes and decided not to continue with them, trust your gut, what made me think twice about these recruiters:
1- Unusually bad English (Not talking about normal immigrant English like mine, but like really bad, no way someone hired this person to recruit for these kind of positions).
2- These `recruiters` talk in very low volume, I had to tell them to speak louder, my guess is that they are in an office with a lot of people doing the same.
3- They ask you about weird stuff in their e-mail communication, like sign something in early phases of interviewing.
4- When tell you when they will call you and the number is flagged as 'SCAM LIKELY' then they tell you to save the number, super red flag
After that I googled the companies / job postings and were super generic with bad reviews in glassdoor.
Yeah, nothing is free, they will know everything about us.
It's going to be the social data source of google, like facebook comments, messages, events, friends, etc (which are also unlimited).
We are the data source for the ultimate ad targeting machine.
What about the keys? I was thinking of getting a mechanical keyboard but with shared space the noise would be a problem. I have heard a lot about the cherry switches but not about matias, so wondering about that.
It seems that the ergonomics is a bit touch and go by person. Its difficult for me to get these keyboards so I want to make a safer choice. Anyone has a thought if I should try for a more ergonomic keyboard for comfort or getting a mechanical one should be first priority.
I ordered a 2nd production run, still waiting for it. Marco Arment has a nice review of it: [1], but note that they fixed the Num Lock key position which he mentioned.
I've had one for 3 months and highly recommend it! It's pretty close to my dream keyboard - a tenkeyless version of the Microsoft Natural 4000 with mechanical switches.
haha, yeah, it's really funny:
"Do not open more than 70 copies of Visual Studio and do not, in any case, choke the artery! What's wrong with you? Choking the artery! Have nothing better to do?"
They might be wanting to run automated tests to find some other problem, and find after 70 tests, they get an error.
So it's sensible to want to fix it.
