Let's not dwell on any single reply in this thread - that tends to make people
uncomfortable, and not something I want to be a part of. We have a lively and
interesting discussion going and we've also gained some new insights as to how
some subscribers are using this list and for what reasons.
Obviously, we must now task someone in CODE4LIB with writing a Python
script to convert New Zealand English to International English.
Or, I guess we could solve this on the user side with a sarcasm filter or a
humor pipe, but you might lose some data that way.

I suspect I'm not the only mostly-lurker who subscribes to CODE4LIB in digest
mode, finding value in a glance over the previous day's discussions each

interface. I find this to be more effective and efficient than

Aside the issue that giving specific individuals or bots preferential
treatment reverses progress made towards greater equality, I would be
concerned about the quality of participation by anyone who needs an

Of everything I heard, Joe's suggestion sounds most palatable.
I hope jobs will *always* be on the list but I understand that some people
don't want to read them and feel it's a burden to filter (there are a lot
of crappy mail clients out there).
The documentation I looked at isn't detailed
I¹ll +1 the suggestion for a separate list for jobs. My personal reasons:
1. I receive the digest version of the code4lib emails (once daily), so I
can¹t easily split just jobs into their own folder in my mail program
since it¹s all one file. I don¹t really want to start parsing and
splitting

In responding I'm not raining on the idea of wiki, etc...
My perspective is from that of a hiring manager for technical positions.
Some of my current favorite soft questions:
1. What was the last program you wrote and what did it do?
2. What was the last thing you learned about programming?
3.
One of the pieces of advice I give to job seekers is to keep in mind that
the interview is a two-way thing. It's not so much that you need to go in
and prove that you deserve to work there, but that you should also be
thinking about whether you WANT to work there. They have to win you over,
too. I
