Unfortunately.tech – a collection of rejection letters • Hacker News Board

When I was job hunting I sincerely appreciated any rejection letter at any stage of the process, be it automated or personal. Obviously an offer letter would be better but the absolute worst is hearing nothing back. We should be praising the companies that take the time (or implement the automated process) to send the rejection letters and not leave us hanging.

This domain could've been better-used for a collection of IoT devices that shouldn't be IoT devices

Looking at the list by company, it seems like the most valuable part of this project will be the data set you’re collecting for testing input validation.

How hard could it possibly be to click a "send rejection" button that triggers a plain-text email!?

Unfortunately, rails is difficult to scale on a shoestring budget.
