Show HN: I built a HTML game inspired by software job advertisements

Browsing job ads in Software Engineering, it's littered with buzzwords. Established companies tend to lean on being coherent in design patterns, communication and collaboration. Small companies and start ups then to just throw their whole stack of programming languages as well as sprinkling the ad with buzz words like "Clean Code" and "Agile". Which are very broad self-opinionated words.

I thought it would be funny (maybe) to make a Typing of the Dead game where you must appease the interviewers using the buzzwords.

I added in a online leaderboard where your score can be ranked.

Quick observations:

* Mute control doesn't seem to work

* Didn't expect first-letter capitalization for non-acronyms (e.g. "Observer") to matter, but I guess if it's a buzzword...

* Was not asked to find triplet sums in an array
