Technically there are many people who speak Latin natively, it is just that it is very late (too late?) Latin.

There’s that one person born and raised in Vatican City who’s just been waiting their whole life for this one moment.

But it only pays $30k/yr

Job positions for people from Vatican City rarely pay the full amount in standard currencies.

Once you factor in the little boy buttholes, the overall comp package for Vatican employees looks much better overall (to the Vatican employees, to be clear)

Yeah…it’s an entrenched organization that protects and nurtures sexual offenders as a matter of policy. And they have essentially unlimited wealth and capital resources at their disposal. It’s pretty fucked

Oh I know, I’m just wondering how the IRS would tax that… Some percentage? Are there even any expats working in the Vatican?

looking for a junior programmer. must have first-hand arpanet experience.

must have beard length at least 80% of your height.

Maybe it’s part of an elaborate vampire hunting scheme. It seems like something idiot PCs would do in a role playing game, and the protagonists of “What We Do In the Shadows” would fall for.

I should apply and tell them I’m a Latin American

I can’t seem to find it, but I think it was James Gosling, where he was blocked from reviewing code at Google because he hadn’t gone through the company’s approval process. I hope this wasn’t a myth I’ve been carrying on for this long.

Eh, I assume there are a phenomenal number of job descriptions that are just copy-pasted over. Native [language] speaker, 5+ years coding experience in [framework that’s been around for 3 years], etc.

Sure, but if it happened I’d see a screenshot of the job posting, not someone who tweeted about totally seeing it

Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.

Someone once told me their grandparents in Brazil were part of a community where Latin was spoken as the primary language, but I can’t find any information about it online in English.

I can sense a Latina joke in there…

I am reminded of Dan Quayle’s “I took Latin in high school.” Offered as proof that he could relate to the Latino community.

A lot of Catholics in Brazil and old Catholicism required the use of Latin during mass, so it’s totally plausible.

Oodgay Ucklay.

That’s pig latin. They’re talking about old-timey toilets.

That’s a latrine. They’re talking about a fancy light fixture.

That’s a lantern. They’re talking about a smooth fabric weave.

That’s latex satin. They’re talking about a fastening, as for a door or gate.

Haensulus Graetulaque ante portas stat.

“Cnuspa, cnuspa Wasa. Qui cnuspat mea casa?”

“Ave, Hexa. Morituri te salutant.”

What’s wrong with 10 years swiftui experience? Is it because it hasn’t been around for 10 years?

I think they were referring to the common trope of asking for more experience than is physically possible.
