> This is a joke right? I would have thought development would be the one sector unaffected by look / image etc.

I know this guy who used to screen models at a Hollywood studio. Now he works as a recruiter in a tech company (he met a VP at stripclub who got him in), what do you think he does?

They are still same people! They look for same signals. They give it weird names like vibes / cultural fit or whatever.

They are still same people no doubt. It's quite typical for your IT recruiter to have screened Hollywood models back in the day.

You could say the same about development vs. politics and absurd emotional dramas in the past. It turned out to be wrong.

Truth is, it's not developers that are hiring you. It's the regular folks.
