This shit is so incredibly ridiculous that it drives me insane. I can understand they want to be careful if they are hiring someone who is going to join them for the long-haul, but I'm not a fucking employee and if they think I'm inexperienced or if I'm an asshole just fucking fire me instead of wasting my time with pointless interviews.

I don't mind agile and I think doing iterative development is important, but what I do not understand is why these companies filter for people who just memorise all the fucking ceremonies and the details of the process instead of knowing how to do the actual work or simply how to efficiently work with other people regardless of process.

The funny thing about agile is that it led to a lot of really good practices. Version control, continuous integration, TDD, iterative development, and DevOps weren't invented by agile, but they became widely adopted thanks to agile.
All these practices came about because the original agile manifesto was trying to give the middle finger to management and went ahead with it.
Modern Agile™ is middle management trying to get in on it, not realising that bypassing them was the reason it started in the first place.

It's not just recruiters, they are also pissed off about this because actually good candidates they submit to companies are getting rejected because of this retarded mechanical interviewing process that selects for people who memorise shit and not for decent people.

This is why /biz/'s "just read books and put stuff on GitHub, bruh" approach is idiotic. You need a degree, preferably a Master's. Anyone telling you that you can advance in this industry with only a portfolio and a CodeCamp certification of achievement is parroting back the 21st century version of the "go to their office and give them a firm handshake" Boomer advice.
I'm lucky enough to already have the advanced degrees that the Karens in HR like. My brother had to do an online degree to advance in his IT career at his company. Everyone there already knew him and knew he could do the job. He was immediately promoted when he got the degree. It was that one stupid fucking piece of paper that was holding him back.

I work with them in the government. It's a completely mindless job, all they do is get emails about new vulnerabilities and get told to update their scanning software with new data and run scans.

If you're reasonably intelligent you should be able to learn COBOL in 6-12 months no problem. Then you basically have job security for life because most COBOL programmers are old as fuck and just babysit decades old systems that are too costly to port to modern languages. So you'll either become the new babysitter or you'll work to port them to modern languages.

Do a search for COBOL jobs. It's pretty in demand and it's not a fluff job where they'll only take minorities, there's simply not enough people available to do the work so I think they'll be more lenient if you have the wrong skin color, genitals, sexual orientation, gender identity, or lack a degree.

>I also am building the app 100% in my spare time so I can show source code to potential employers if need be. My bosses have already said I can develop it on the clock, but I'm worried about IP stickiness because I'm the only guy here who can code, let alone sysadmin. Maybe I shouldn't be so worried and my logic is flawed, but w/e
TALK TO A LAWYER ASAP. You absolutely should be worried about IP. In fact stop doing all work until you talk to a lawyer and figure out if you own your work or not.

>all they do is get emails about new vulnerabilities and get told to update their scanning software with new data and run scans. The hardest thing they do is manage an inventory of everything plugged into the network (ie, finding random printers in back offices).
This is also accurate this is what I do on most days, rarely we need to do quantitative/qualitive analysis or any pentesting (as whitebox pentesting is not that useful according to my boss)

Infosec is similar to HR in that the purpose isn't to secure computer systems (like HR isn't about hiring good talent). Infosec is about showing compliance to "industry best practices" to limit liability for hacks when they do occur. Basically, the company needs documentation to show that they took reasonable precautions before being hacked so that the company can't be sued for the damages from loss of data.

If something actually needs to be secure (ie, no hacks) you airgap that data/system/network entirely. There's no other way to be sure. If data actually cannot be lost no matter what, you set up an automated backup system that matches your data requirements (ie, nightly to local backup, weekly to cloud, monthly to offline tape storage), and you do regular test restores to verify everything works.

Fair enough. I'm not looking to sell my work as a separate product, but I do want something to show for it for portfolio reasons. I have never developed while at the office. I'll find the time to talk with someone. Thank you.

Also fyi I am building up from requirements. One of the biggest hurdles right now is I'm trying to keep the timecard system compatible with our legacy paper system while things are being tested. There is a separate API in place that can be switched on that allows the time card system to expose itself to other systems down the line when further automation work is done (or automating payroll)

what you are doing is leading a project / being "lead developer" imo after you do this if you sell it right youre more experienced than other devs

Yea desu I would rather stagnate at my job than keep going to engineering interviews. It’s just cringe.

Because if they reject enough people then they can use the h1b to send your work to pajeet who will do it for pennies.

Are you saying the solution is to become a pajeet?

Fuck no, you want to get skills that can't be outsourced or work as a consultant to unfuck what the pajeets fuck up.

You are thinking about this all wrong OP. You are trying to sell yourself on a technical and skill basis.

The permanent employers maintain their positions through entrenched sinecures and bureaucracy. Hence the behavioural interview us not about finding out whether you will get along and are a good person to work with, the goal is to suss out whether you will reinforce the tribe by copying its formalism and rituals.

Making it in corporate is more about understanding human nature then it is about technical prowess. Unless you have some skill that literally no one has and is absolutely essential, like being a rocket engineer during the cold war. You have learn to toe the party line so the speak.
