Interview Experience
I had a few interviews with Sourcegraph and they ghosted me but that's not the name and shame part. The last interview I had with them was pretty conversational. I had a background in some of the problems they were working on and during the conversation I brought up a sort of improvement/trick I had figured out in the past and the interviewer said it was something they had never considered before and seemed really interested in it which I thought was a good sign. But unfortunately they ghosted me after that. But here's the crazy part. Sourcegraph has some open source repos and out of curiosity I decided to look at one the other day. I looked at a few of the recent PRs and one of them caught my eye. The PR was the EXACT improvement/trick that I brought up in my interview. I look at who created the PR and, of course, it was the guy who interviewed me. I looked at the date and it was about a week after my interview happened. So this place ghosted me AND used me for free consulting. I'm actually kind of flattered.
