Height, weight, current salary? Were these things you commonly kept on your resume in the 1970s? I honestly can’t imagine listing any of that today.
Pay 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...
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.
The skills came from learning to program starting in the 5th grade.
So first year students don't make that kind of money but as a first year student you might have skills that were honed earlier which allows for that type of job.

Now it's personal pronouns and gender. Seeing more and more on resumes. I didn't ask if you were "genderqueer", don't care and it has nothing to do with our open front end dev position.

it's not required but it makes you more considered.
Even in countries where it was the norm (like Germany), this is not really true anymore. For tech positions or anything remotely close, the impact will be zero or even negative, don't do it.

Wow - first year coursework looks pretty interesting and advanced compared to current first year coursework!

Any success getting a job after mentioning it?
I mentioned my newborn in all of my job interviews because I didn't want any surprises on either side of the table. I interviewed at six places and got five offers - two at FANGs, three at unicorns. I don't think there's a culture of discrimination against young fathers at large companies, and I don't think it's necessarily bad if there is at early-stage, high-growth start ups.

A lot of first year cs students have under a year of experience and can only list python, Java and possibly C++ under proficiencies. What's more sad is when you try hiring at a job fair and 300 4th year / master's students also only have python/Java/C++ with no side projects.
Personally speaking, vast proficiency in any given language or languages doesn't mean that much to me. You'll pick up es6 or go or whatever else. I care about the thought processes behind development choices, their implications on computational efficiency. They teach this in school, at least in the schools I attended. In fact, many professors were adamant they didn't care about languages at all other than someone gra…
Those in good programs had classes that were focused on the actual subject matter (algorithms, OS, compilers, ML, etc.) with the language just being a tool, and in upper level classes, professors absolutely didn’t even care what language you used, as long as it got the job done (within reasonable limits, of course; no one likes grading BrainFuck code, even though some people attempted writing assignments in those as a joke).
Those in weaker programs, instead, had a “Java class”, “C class”, “javascript class”, etc.

Listing their pronouns prevents candidates from being misgendered while hiring staff discuss them. Makes sense to me.
