No, it's selecting candidates who are aware of the current Twitter joke of the day. They're either unaware of how small that bubble is or accepting of the monoculture this promotes.
I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke. What it might filter out are people who don't find this joke funny, and might decide not to apply (and on the countrary it will catch the attention of people finding this funny and concluding Signal must be a cool place to work). Getting devs attention on a job offer is hard these days, so I guess spici…
I, for one, wouldn't bother searching for a technology that I've never heard of if it were listed as a requirement for a job posting. I would just move on to the next posting.
There are too many jobs that I am qualified for to bother taking time for a deep dive on a job that I'm not qualified for.

#73This reminds me of a practical joke a co-worker and I pulled some years back, we made up a new project called the LMNOP project (just letters out of the alphabet). We used a program i wrote based on the old foggy where whenever we would see a good BS line from an email or document we put it in the BS generator DB. We had the program spit out several pages of total BS and some fake but impressive looking diagrams made…
You've inspired me... here is what GPT-3 has to say about Infinidash (prompt (including first newline) in italics, first take):
Introducing AWS Infinidash
InfiniDASH is a container-based, serverless, infinitely scalable, high-performance, low latency event stream processing platform built on top of AWS Lambda, Kinesis, and Amazon DynamoDB.
Applications built with InfiniDASH can handle millions of events per second with sub-millisecond latency.
InfiniDASH is currently in developer preview, so you can try it out for free.
To learn more about InfiniDASH, visit the product page.
To see a live demo of InfiniDASH at re:Invent, register for a hands-on lab.

#74Would be amusing if it became a shibboleth to the extent that adding it to your resume in a clearly joking way would help you get an interview.

No they'll find more and more examples of the joke, and so keep thinking it's real, but never any explanation.

So... now I'm wondering whether this actually should be a thing. That sounds pretty slick.

That's hilarious. I think Jeff has an account here.
Just tried with GPT-J posted here yesterday(?) Prompt in italics as well. Seems like it wants to tweak the name:
Introducing AWS Infinidashboard
What is AWS Infinidashboard?
AWS Infinidashboard is the end-to-end tool that automates dashboards generation for your AWS infrastructure.
How does it work?
1. Dashboard Model Definition
To make dashboards flexible and scalable, Dashboards defined by the user using Infinidashboard specify a logical layout with templates, graphs and widgets (common dashboard elements). It enables user-driven dashboard customization by storing templates for common dashboard elements.
Infinidashboard extracts a definition of templates, graphs and widgets from the defined dashboards and applies this template when processing a new dashboard.
You can define your own templates using the AWS Dashboards Customizable Templates.
2. Dashboard Generation
A dashboard can be defined using a set of metadata (template, graphs and widgets) and a set of metadata describing the data source(s). An abstract description of data sources (CRUD operations, security groups and subnets) is shared as a common model that ensures consistent behavior. When processing data from the corresponding data sources, the user-provided templates, graphs and widgets are automatically applied to the specified data and the resulting dashboard is saved into an Amazon S3 location.
An Abstract Data Source Model (or ADSM) is a common metadata model that describes a data source. The user creates an ADSM to describe the infrastructure and other metadata associated with the data source (security groups, subnets, RDS instance, Lambda functions, Kinesis stream) that drives the dashboard.
3. Dashboard Security
Infinidashboard uses the IAM model to ensure users' data access control and permission policies are properly applied.

Aha nice; good advert for GPT-J. Actually I included a newline in the prompt; I'll edit to make that clear.

This is pretty much Kinesis Data Analytics lol

I am 100% sure that I did not write that, and I am 100% sure that this comes across as far too Jeff-like for comfort!
