  Surprised this is still a thing.

  After the previous time this hit social media I would have expected someone within canonical to wake up and realise "we're getting some serious flak here - this might actually actively chase away the top candidates"

  8 interviews? And for what, to develop snapd?

  EDIT: I think I'm too harsh about the company which OS I use daily. Even the sun has spots, even canonical has snapd

  In three decades of tech I have never interviewed for a single company more than four times, and four was a new record with my current post. Three was more typical.

  8 borders on asinine. Can anyone suggest reasons where that could be valid?
