It seems to me you're on a irc-hate rampage. There are many devs who rarely, if ever, go on irc. The _only_ requirement is that you conduct a real-time interview with a recruiter. It's sort of like a job interview only it's remote. Once you're a dev you don't have to go on irc _at all_. It's not going to kill you to do two reviews on irc, especially given the advantages various people have presented for a real-time interview.
