    SPOILER ALERT: Bartender is a software application used to read large number of barcodes, QR codes, RFID, etc. at high speed.

      While that may be true, this is still likely an automated response built by a script that found some keywords on your profile. I still get the occasional proposition for RPG work, and I haven’t touched an AS/400 in over a 20 years which my profile reflects. I haven’t even touched my profile in years. But the script doesn’t care about that. That’s for the HR rep to filter out later if you respond.

        Why you are no doubt correct; as someone who’s had to support a BarTender based automated print system in a manufacturing company, this skillet need doesn’t surprise me at all and is part of why the software gave me a drinking problem.

          So you’re saying it would help to have both a bartender, and a bartender specialist on the team. Seems like we might be doing the bot a disservice here

        I’m still getting weekly emails (and who knows how many linked in messages) trying to recruit me over a profile I haven’t updated in a decade…aka 2 years after I entered the industry

        One of these days, I’m going to set up my AI assistant to respond. Who knows, with an even playing field maybe some of them will be worthwhile

      For North Italia, a pizzeria?

      Also, I looked it up and the software has a capitalized T.

          Southern Italy is better at pizza, we all agree atelier all that’s where pizza comes from. Florence is not in the south however, you might have had a good pizza, you can eat very good pizza everywhere in Italy. That said general consensus is Naples is where you want to go for the good good shit.

      Unfortunate name. Is Bartender well known in the programming world? I wonder if they have trouble getting candidates.

    Wait… they want someone skilled in HTML/CSS, Javascript and SQL?!?

    I hope to fuck they’re using a node backend otherwise… the client scripts running in the browser are assembling SQL?

      The SQL knowledge might be for analytical (OLAP) rather than transactional queries in which case it’d be entirely separate to the website work. Maybe the design of the site would change based on how people are currently using it, and they want someone that can look at rhe data? I’m unsure.

    I might be missing the joke, but Bartender is actually a real program for managing barcode readers!

      All of those qualifications require that you can handle a cascade of requests and manage tables

      Are they based out of the PNW? Now that I think about it, I may actually have interviewed with them at one point.

      ETA: Yeah, pretty sure it was them, they’re PT and have a 425 DID for sales, and the company name is wholly unrelated to the product. Had forgotten about them entirely, and would have had the same reaction as OP to getting that email now.

      And it probably is the sw product the email was referencing, since Bartender is capitalized.

        Only work 3 days per week and very short shifts. Your day ends exactly when you clock out. There is no work to bring home, or ruminate about. What’s not to love?

          No waking up in the middle of the of the night panicked, rushing to your work laptop, getting on the vpn, greping logs, and realizing it was all a dream and that never happened.

          Yeah, I’ll just mix the drinks strong.

        My current job came from tossing my profile up on indeed. My previous one from Dice, one before that from an agent who found me online.

        I prefer they come to me.

    Is SQL not a good skill to have? I’m an extremely strong sql writer in a senior position, but was going to test the waters soon.
