Or the FastAPI creator not having enough years of experience with FastAPI according to a job posting.
That is the most absolutely absurd wild damn story that I have written. Care to provide links... How can interviewers be such stupid, the fastapi creator had the MOST experience with it, he created it..

#22I'll say it: why would they pay him if he's already doing the work for free from their PoV? Oh, they ignored him. I am not sure if that puts the company in a better light.
Because - They can decide more easily what he works on - They know he loves this work and is very capable of doing it - They can own his output, a competitive advantage - He will likely cost them ~nothing anyway
While that sounds rational, I worry that the same reasoning is not applied in the HR department.
But that might be just my frustration from experiences.
To continue the devil's advocate: why bother with all of this, if the company doesn't have to and the OSS version is enough anyway?

#23Wait for the Meta offer, it could be a few millions.

#24> Unfortunately they thanked me for my application but said the team doesn't have the capacity to review additional applications. It seems like they didn't even look at his application.
Nor their tech. For shame! Where's the enablement?! I was promised productivity.

#25I’d be curious to see the outcome of changing the license to a Fair Source License or explicitly “You are not allowed to use this software if you are Anthropic, otherwise MIT”. They could still use the current version, but for any in the future they’d be forced to fork it or be prepared to face yet another legal battle (I can imagine some lawyers already salivating at the thought).
It’s also curious the author is looking inside the app for proof their software is being used. If it’s MIT, mustn’t the license be included and available somewhere easier to verify?

Implementing the features they would want to prioritize. Just like most companies hiring OSS maintainers.
That is also a good point, but I worry that the power has shifted. I worry that companies might get away with no compensation for such efforts.

#30I would guess like him that no human engineer ever read his application. The less they would have done in that case would be to at least thank him for his work, even if they don't plan to hire him for some reason.
Automated systems, AI screening, and incompetent HR people are the bane of modern recruiting practices.
