I feel like I'm being helpful if I point out a UI bug in another HNer's product, because that might help them to correct it and make it better.
I feel like it might be necessary to point out a bug in a product I've tried to use, as explanation for why I don't use that product (when the discussion is topical.)
I might be inclined to complain about the Resumator bug, if it so affected me, but only after I've used it to apply to the job I wanted, and definitely not instead of.
Regardless of exactly who is being hypocritical, the message you're sending is that the annoyance of using Resumator (a service that DeviantArt did not build) is greater than your desire for this job.
If I were the potential employer, I would assume that means one of a few things, all of which are harsh:
- You're too lazy to submit your own resume, and would prefer someone contacted you in whatever manner most convenient to you
- You're too good to submit your resume, and would prefer someone contacted you in whatever manner is most convenient to you
- You don't like the job that much, but would definitely take a paycheck if someone who was willing to do the job for you would also pay you as though you'd done it
- You're FAR too detail-oriented, refusing to lower yourself to the standards of a poorly designed resume submission method.
You can extrapolate out the rest if you like, as an exercise to the reader.
For what it's worth, I don't necessarily believe any of those things, but one of those is the impression I got reading your previous posts in this thread.
Yes, submitting for a job is an annoyance, and can be time consuming. It's part of the process.
