On this day in 1848, more than 40,000 French workers initiated the June Days Uprising after the state closed National Workshops that provided work to the unemployed, causing 10,000 casualties and 4,000 workers to be deported to Algeria.
The National Workshops had only been formed a few months earlier, when, on February 25th, a group of armed workers interrupted a session of the provisional government to demand "the organization of labor" and "the right to work".
In late June, the Second Republic began planning to close the workshops, leading to a national uprising. In sections of the city, hundreds of barricades were thrown up. The National Guard was sent in to quell the rebellion, and workers seized weapons from local armories to fight back.
The violence, which lasted just three days, resulted in more than 10,000 casualties and 4,000 participants to be deported to Algeria. Among the dead was Denis Auguste Affre, Archbishop of Paris, killed while trying to negotiate peace with an angry crowd.
The rebellion was successfully crushed, and the episode put a hold on revolutionary ambitions of radical Republicans at the time. In its aftermath, the French Constitution of 1848 was adopted, mandating that executive power be wielded by a democratically elected president.
The first president under this framework was Napoleon Bonaparte, who dissolved the constitution during his first term in office.

On the 8th round of interview for a staff engineer role (which is a rung below my last job, and a role I’ve been working at the level of for a decade), the hiring manager pair programs with me and says in a follow up “really excited by you as a candidate, but you seem to be operating at a senior level, not a staff level, so we want to down level you if you want to continue for the next 2 rounds of interview”
I’m so fucking tired man
what does that even mean? also 10 rounds of interviews, what the fuck?
They want to hire me, but at 2 levels below my last job, cool stuff
ok. so that is what their words mean but I couldn't parse them because I cannot comprehend why you operating at a level above the position you're interviewing for would be cause to "demote" you and hire you at a level below the position. it strikes me as almost punitive.
I’ve thought about it a lot as it’s fucking me up a bit tbh, lol….
I possibly interview really fucking badly, there’s internal politics about bringing me in, or they simply don’t know what they’re doing. Or all 3. Working at the level I have been (basically an architect across a dozen teams) means that I haven’t been writing that much code day-to-day for a while. It was a last minute surprise pair programming test framed by the recruiter as a non-assessment….I’m honestly glad to be free of that mess, even though my savings continue to dwindle :yea
The hiring process for all jobs has gotten significantly worse, but the dev hiring process is absolutely insane.
Sorry you're dealing with it
That's fucking insane. Who signs off on ten rounds of interviews for a job? Are you gonna be coding with the aliens at area 51?
