Mad hatter

They’re still using tables for layouts so

I have a fantasy of writing a technical book but not sure I could really put in the required effort

I am impressed

This does not sound like it happened recently

Honestly I just found it irksome that the recruiter was trying to tell me how to prioritize my needs in the job search when it was obvious he was just trying to make a placement.

Outsourcing any part of the interview process for a small company is definitely one for me. Any hire is going to be absolutely critical and you’re going to let someone else make this decision?

And even if it wasn’t a good idea, the fact that the person couldn’t be respectful when they’re trying to impress you the most is a very bad sign.

I had a recruiter trying to convince me to take an offer lower than my current salary, telling me it’s not all about the money. I told him I’d do it if he made up the difference by giving me some of his salary. He told me he’s not giving me his salary to which I replied “it’s not all about the money”

On the first point - I’m not sure there’s a difference to internet users between 1 billion junk articles on a topic and 1 trillion junk articles.

On the second point - this is precisely what I’m talking about when I say if reputable sources start churning out junk, they will lose their reputation. This is a negative publicity event for google. If it keeps happening, people will no longer trust the information coming from google.

There’s going to be a lot of garbage content out there—but isn’t there already? People have been writing junk to try to get search engine placement for 20+ years.

I’m not necessarily seeing the slop problem. People should always have been skeptical of content on untrusted websites.

Now, if reputable sources start trying to pump out content with AI, that’d be a problem. I suspect for those who try, they’ll quickly lose their reputation.

I’ve just been doing rss for a while but some readers prefer email. I wouldn’t opt people into it somehow, they’d have to subscribe themselves

Yeh doing something that’s not scalable is uniquely something you can offer

Who’d have figured a bunch of people who didn’t read the docs would go on to become software developers

I like it. The distinction between Authn and Authz isn’t nearly as obviously as login and permission. Sometimes I feel like we enjoy fancy terms more than we enjoy unambiguous terms.

Yeah it’s pretty much identical to what ChatGPT spits out. Looks like the comment is removed now.

Was this response generated by an LLM?

Were they ever not, at least in recent memory? All those govt and banking mainframes out there were the entire pool of COBOL devs retiring

I do miss it a bit. Something about the scarcity made it more special. Also, the ceremony of going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and bringing it home. Same applies to music for me, but maybe even more so. I know I’m wearing rose-colored glasses in a lot of ways, but im okay with it.

The person on Reddit referenced how things were at their previous job, so probably not entry level

Heartened to see that porn consumption is one of the few recommended use cases for a personal VPN

Thank you for the feedback! If you have time and are willing to elaborate, I’d appreciate why you aren’t interested in any of the suggestions (or if it’s just the fact they’re all from Amazon). Thanks!

Haha! As long as you’re happy with your current laptop, I count it as a win!

Oh, sorry about that. I don’t think I can delete it now though. How can I take it down?

This is kind of correct, but hardcoded sounds a bit worse than it actually is. Basically a cron job updates the JSON file and injects it as a JS object into the bundle

Certain sentences are so well-crafted they give me joy. This one is a gem:

I often wonder how many tens of billions of dollars have been paid to management consultants to solve problems that low-wage line workers had solutions for, only because a guy in a suit has a hard time taking a guy with dirty fingernails seriously.

I’d probably spark one up if I got asked to do leetcode in an interview

Most? Source?
