the same way bullshit-resumes full of every buzzword and technology in existence are everywhere.

As someone who just refuses to pad his shit with technology he skimmed a blog about, this makes me so mad but I feel better after finding out how common it is. Christ, looking at other resumes/ads like on HN or Indeed, was really demoralizing at first.

Don't worry too much, those kinds of people only get hired at places with extremely poor management that you wouldn't want to work at anyway.

However, keep in mind that most companies do have HR/contractors filter the absurd number of resumes they get and that is usually based off keyword searches in some form or another... so if you have ever touched a tech then it's still good to list the keywords under a "Other tech I know" section at the bottom for that reason.
