True. But I do just the opposite. Even though they aren’t allowed to ask me if I am married, I go out of my way to mention off handedly that I am married. I want them to “discriminate” against me if they have the type of culture that expects people to work for 60 hours a week regularly.
Hehe. I've been going around telling how my wife is nine months pregnant, asking how the paternity benefits are.

#42I'm amused that such a resume would be binned by many HR departments. That is some HR depatments, are so bad at their job, that they will literally lose your company the chance to get a Bill-gates-caliber dev. I mean obviously if he gets to the technical interview, an engineer can see that he is competent. But they question is would such a resume get past HR?

#43Pay attention to the $15K salary he wants- that's about $75K in today's money. Not much has changed,even though companies nowadays make many tons more money from the dev work...
I know internships can easily earn that but my understanding is they go to 4th year students.

;) Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to develop a "manual" typewriter that warns the user that they are about to make a spelling mistake, possibly keeping the whole word in a buffer until they handle the warning. The warning itself can be performed via any means, including but not limited to an electrical zap.
At some point there used to be electric typewriters with a 1 or 2 line buffer that they'd show on a black and white LCD. I don't know whether they had a spellchecker, but it wouldn't be hard to add one.

Do a lot of first year computer science students get paid $75k/year? I know internships can easily earn that but my understanding is they go to 4th year students.

#49Pretty nostalgic seeing a pre MS giant resume from Gates. Also .. look at how simple a resume is. Raw ascii text, few paragraphs .. done. #dubugging
It was typed on a manual typewriter - you can tell by the weight of the punctuation.
