Quit my previous job, failed at a startup, explored other career paths, then figured I should give it a go since I liked programming and people were saying how this career is in demand (oh, to be a sw…

If that were the case, why doesn't Anthropic just spin up their own HR software? https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs/5023394008 …
