Ask HN: How did Soham Parekh get so many jobs?

Soham Parekh is all the rage on Twitter right now with a bunch of startups coming out of the woodwork saying they either had currently employed him or had in the past. Serious question: why aren't so many startups hiring processes filtering out a candidate who is scamming/working multiple jobs?

Ask HN: 80s electronics book club; anyone remember this illustrator?
3 by codpiece | 9 comments on Hacker News.
In the early 80's in the US, a popular DIY electronics magazine had a book of the month club that I loved. Most were small and leather bound hardback with topics like: make your own hydrophone; augmented reality (required a full room and a boom arm, sadly); an LCD model rocket launcher ignition; computer vision; lots and lots of robots. One book I remember (large, softcover, yellow cover) featured black and white, pen and ink illustrations of fantastically complex robots and machines. One that I remember was a water-based machine with video camera eye mounted on a tripod of pontoons. Wow, these illustrations filled my dreams. Does anyone remember this? Do you remember the name of the illustrator? Anything at all?
