I'll save you the read.
He got frustrated and sent the company a message. He never received a response. The end.

Most companies hiring process seems to be a mix of incompetent and malicious.

Many posts are for jobs that don't exist or they have no intention of filling. That should be illegal.

I had a posting the other day that said python, Django, react. I actually heard back from the recruiter, but he said the job was actually for Java. He didn't seem concerned that that's a whole other language.

Unfortunately, they don't really have an incentive to be better. They get so many applications that they can be inefficient and still get candidates.
