It's simply goodheart's law taken to the nth degree.

- People see that LinkedIn meme of some college student sneaking into a company o deliver pizza and attaching their resume to stand out

- People praise its creativity

- Someone desperate enough falls into Poe's law and tries to +1 that.

Maybe companies should properly utilize their "boring" pipeline if they don't want candidates to start getting "creative".

The “fake delivery” trick is so old it’s in a 1950s Donald Duck comic.

What’s going to happen is something like this admittedly well-executed version goes viral, and then you get fifty thousand incredibly crappy imitations.

Old tricks with a new generation of dogs. Novelty comes in waves just like any other trend, and we have new technologies to work with as well. And yes, it's all in execution. Apple shows how you don't need to be first, just the first to do it really well.

Very likely, yes. But you only really to do it once if you're the one trying to get a job. You're not responsible for any imitations
