Not a big fan of theirs what with snaps and all / direction they’ve taken ubuntu in general these days but I can somewhat see that for a programming job where you would ostensibly have to write decent commit messages, comment code, and other documentation.
I would still find it kind of pretentious and annoying to write something that is essentially for little to no practical purpose other than for someone to judge you by (there are other ways to evaluate writing skills… Such as portfolios/resume/etc)
Edit: was curious… my word count above is 87, for reference
I read some pretty awful commit messages. I have this Russian colleague. Who is super smart but his English isn’t great. So he basically doesn’t leave any commit messages and his pull request are always blank with no descriptions no matter how many times I ask him to please comment what I am reviewing.
Guessing you are in some shit place like I’ve been before where there is also not a proper process and the people who know wtf they are doing either aren’t allowed or don’t have the time to write proper pre-commit hooks to reject shit like empty messages and so on.
I don’t know. I expect them to ask if the skills match. And then maybe some type of personality matching for the team I guess this counts. Seems a bit much though.
Canonical does this kinda shit for their remote programming jobs. Not hand written but want like a high school essay on your feelings.

Just really frequent leadership changes. Though these days it’s been pretty stable.
Lol dude wtf is up with this shit? It’s pretentious and out of touch
