" summary

Scans job postings for concrete giveaways: specific jargon, odd perks, and blunt hiring practices. Notes technical asks like HTML CSS JavaScript plus Python or Ruby and Facebook API next to cultural bullets such as awesome company culture and fan calls. Flags gimmicks—paintball, arcade, free espresso—alongside worrying demands like a 3-hour comprehensive test and phrasing like cut from our cloth or “we will kick you out” that signal homogeneity, unpaid labor, or rigid hiring rituals.
