The wage is too low. I'd ask for at least $0000

Nice to have:

  • Experience migrating existing codebases to memory-safe languages

They don't mention the language by name. That's good media training.

According to the CADT model: to a different one every 6 months?

The funny thing about that page, IMO, is that it's a browser developer picking on GNOME for rewriting constantly, never getting past 0.8. When that's basically what browsers have done ever since they've been a thing.

He's not wrong but...

a browser developer

“A 20th century browser developer” is an important clarification.

That's a good distinction, but it wasn't that much better then. They were constantly shipping new betas before the old ones were stable, too.

I see where he's coming from, to be sure. But I used browsers starting in late 1993, and the GUI ones weren't that stable in the 20th century either. (lynx was a different story...)

I see left-pad is hiring more people, did they get more VC funding?

They’re making an AI play. Soon you’ll be able to give natural-language prompts for how much you want to pad strings. Also, strings will be padded with slop not whitespace.
