I explain "X equals X plus one" as though each variable has an implicit version that increases whenever it's written to or as time goes on, but we can only access the lastest version.

For example

    X = X + X
is really
    Xv2 = Xv1 + Xv1

I code on my phone using termux, tmux, nvim, and Unexpected Keyboard (no physical keyboard) on an Android phone. Vim style modal editing is actually really well suited to this kind of development.

It lets me work on my hobbies while I commute, travel, or am otherwise idle and is a nice alternative to scrolling social media or consuming content.

With git, I can just sync my changes and work from a PC when I can/want to.

cover letter is very important, and please do not use chatgpt to write it (we have automated checkers in place)

Do you have any reason to believe that your automated AI checker is accurate or reliable? If anything, you're biasing yourself against neurodivergent applicants or anyone applying using their non-native language.

Location: Remote

This role will be a hybrid work format, with time split between working remotely and working onsite from our San Francisco, New York, or Seattle offices, 2-3 days a week as required by your manager.

A bit fancier than my awk version

  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'

Or if you want to clear the screen too
  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("\033[2J\033[H= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'

New rule needs ~ when * or _ is used inside words, so your example wouldn't need escaping. E.g.,
