Can confirm. I have 12 years+ experience in Python and applied to the Senior Software Engineer (Golang) job a few weeks ago as I wanted to develop my Go skills more. Vacancy states "Proficiency with Go or another backend language (and willing to switch to Go);" and requests 4 years of experience. I got autorejected.

I thought about applying when I saw this post last month. Cool product and interesting stack. But few things were a deal-breaker for me:

- no ability to work less than 40 hours

- very little room to work remotely

Overall the vibe of your FAQ page was a bit off-putting to me. Giving this as honest feedback, if you continue to struggle to fill this position, those are things you might want to have a second look at.

This is true. Because we're such a small country, dubbing isn't viable (adding subtitles is cheaper). And I'm glad for it, because I can't stand dubbed things, but that might just be because I'm not so used to it.

most of my regex-fu entails building a regex relatively close to what I want and then repeatedly throwing it at a local instance of RegExper and test strings until I have something which accomplishes what I'm looking for it to do.

I'd definitely fall outside the "true regex superheroes" category.

I think you just gave the definition of "true regex superhero". Best regex programmers I know have a similar workflow.
