The severe mental retardation of search engine developers is growing

LinkedIn. Touts itself as the worlds's greatest professional community. Filters in job search include the last 24 hours, last week, last month, and all times. Congratulations, assholes! Show me how you search on Monday, and I'll kiss you. The combination of endless scrolling and pagination is priceless. Under the 1st page of results they show you up and down voting buttons that... redirect you to another pages after you submit your vote. Huh? Are you for real, dumb twits? I am not done going through the search results yet. 'Apply' button cannot be right-clicked for opening in a private window. Privacy champions, my ass.

Indeed. Another clinical case of dumb and dumber. Every search resets filters. What did you think when you coded that? That you hate your job and would rather play golf?

Monster... I am begging you! Can't be dumber than that! It is so retarded that every time agents call and tell me that they found my resume on Monster, I make huge eyes. The reason being, Monster is a clinical case of 3 nested enldess scrolling in a confined vertical space, which is excruciatingly hard to manage with a mouse wheel. It becomes an exercise in extreme acrobatics. At least when LinkedIn or Indeed do not have any results for my search they have decency to say so. Monster silently dumps irrelevant jobs on its user: here, software developer, enjoy cleaner or plumber jobs!

Now, our civilization depends on search engines like it never had, but they fail us. Is this the fate that we deserve? Give it a thought, for a change, once in your lifetime.
