Soham Parekh is all the rage on Twitter right now with a bunch of startups coming out of the woodwork saying they either had currently employed him or had in the past.

Serious question: why aren't so many startups hiring processes filtering out a candidate who is scamming/working multiple jobs?

Most US citizens applying for software engineering jobs can't even get a response to their resume, and then I read stories like this.

I'm hoping that the section 174 fix from the latest tax bill will slow this down significantly

I’ll be surprised if it does. Software jobs are slumping for several reasons and the section 174 hack fixes one for a while but causes between one to four other problems depending on where you live.
