The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.

A clock that always shows the same time is never right, even in the moments of the day when the time happens to be what it shows, because you don't gain any information about what time it is by looking at the clock.

This reasoning also applies to chatbots. If you can't tell whether what you have been given is useful information unless you alreay know the information, then you haven't been given useful information.

I can't handle how many software companies have fallen hook, line and sinker for this "believe in the mission" horseshite.

Big shops started doing that because management consultancies told them to, and they're both full of shit.

Stop demanding that job applicants write love letters to you in order to be deemed worthy you self-aggrandising fucking wanks.

Jobseeking is already an exercise in ritual humiliation, you don't need to add having your fucking egos stroked into the mix.
