requirement

I'm reading CVs at the moment. What I'd like is to feed 'em into a scripty of some sort that would rate them for buzzword compliance so I could skip over the ones that talk about synergy and integrating vertical solutions and all that bollox without even opening them.

If you're applying for a job with my employer, bear in mind I may implement this. Cut the bullshit, just tell me why I should consider you for the job.

observation

The Shirky article that tritone linked to has a personally interesting paragraph:

But recently we've had this experience where there was a social software discussion list, and someone said "I know, let's set up a second mailing list for technical issues." And no one moved from the first list, because no one could fork the conversation between social and technical issues, because the conversation can't be forked.

This very thing happened on the DSPsrv mailing list, which started life as pretty much a hacking list and gradually became more and more social, at which point the non-technical people started objecting to the technical conversation and a second list was created for technical stuff. Of course, then when one of the non-techs wanted to ask a technical question they'd ask it on the social list because they weren't signed up to the technical list.
