I appreciate the geekyness of this SSH job application

  I interviewed at this company about 2 years ago. The CTO himself interviewed me but he wasn't good at it because he asked many unrelated questions and wasn't able to answer my questions without making things up. Basic questions like what their current goals are and why they chose their current tech stack were left unanswered.

  Then he told me I did good and he wants to do another interview but together with his cofounder next time. I agreed and never heard from him again. Hopefully they improved on this and stopped ghosting people.

  Disable SSH Agent Forwarding if you want to try this!!

  Handy. So you can set up a cron job to apply once a month.
