^ This.
It's always been my belief an "influencer"'s 50,000 online friends would probably think they're a jerk IRL.

I know you think that joke is funny, but it's not. It's ok to be friendly.

What, seeing people agree on the internet makes you uncomfortable?

Nothing can generate more BS per unit of time than a computer.
But as people in that field have already realized (and voiced their concerns about), when it starts feeding itself it dilutes its own value.
There are some useful applications, but generally speaking I think it'll just implode upon itself and it'll be good riddance.

On another note, a number of jobs get posted in some groups of Telegram. (Not sure how much Telegram app is prevalent in the US, Europe, etc., but in India, Telegram is not so uncommon). I am a member of a group called "Remote Jobs", where number of software jobs get posted almost everday.

This is going to sound like an ad for this website I know, but I'm genuinely enthusiastic and impressed and I'm not getting paid or anything for posting this.
So this guy I know set up a website for .NET developers to find a job directly without any recruiters.
It's basically a job board with one significant difference: it was created with the developer in mind, not the company doing the hiring.
Also, recruiters are actively kept out with a few simple programming questions that prove you're a programmer (sort of captcha).
That means companies are required to fill out what stack they use, how they use it, what a typical day in the company looks like, why they're looking for someone, types of applications they work on, their industries, how new releases are deployed, how often you'll typically have to fix bugs... Even some photo's are required.
There are about 50 questions in total of which a considerate amount a recruiter or HR employee can't answer without help of a programmer.
Not all of them are mandatory, but quite a few are.
His goal was, of course, to deal with vague job descriptions like the ones you are seeing and to get better matches between programmer and company.
It's also free for programmers and companies pay a small fee per job opening per year (much cheaper than all the other boards).
It was quite a hassle to get people on board, but I think it's currently (one of) the biggest job board for .NET developers in the Netherlands.
For those interested (Dutch only, unfortunately): https://werkenmet.net/[^]

That's a brilliant idea.

And if only he spent a bit of money for a translator's services, it probably would only get much bigger still.

OK, I'll my my (hopefully wrong) solution:
At home IN
document appeal DOMIT (I can't justify this at all!)
can be ABLE
difficult to overcome
INDOMITABLE

It's the right answer
At home IN
document DOM
appeal IT (as in the it factor)
can able
Maybe not the best written clue

Maybe not ... but it worked.
I'd probably have gone with "D" and "OMIT" rather than "DOM" and "IT" though working the clue with just "D" would probably have been a fair amount of work.

"TRACT" works for "Document" - it means a pamphlet or leaflet.
I'm rusty as well ...
