Compared to the existing programs where teachers are pressured to pass people because you can't just fail 70% of the students because it makes the passing rate too low for your school?

Sorry, man, things be on fire over here... I didn't think anyone would actually sign up.

Gonna check this out and see what's wrong.

The same ideals apply to companies...

"Here's my booking link"

We stopped counting after a bit but regularly get an influx get new features drop (like the virtual business card) and when we post someplace.

It's profitable enough to cover hosting but honestly we built the features we wanted out a product we wanted and it went from there.

That's no bueno but we are getting the HN hug of death.

I see your account is created and ready to roll.

Weird, I have never seen that dropdown option but I was able to do it (but I also sometimes get a "Suggest Password" option).

We're mostly developer focused so that email/password signup is really for non-github users. I'll check it out.

> get no bites, or worse alienate myself from the opportunities.

Each person can do it however they see fit. I tend to use it as a way to get the critical info needed (company name, salary, remote or not). Recruiters who send me messages with enough info don't get a link from me. If you're still reluctant to give me enough info to make a decision can book at $100/hr, and about 5% of those book.

It's up to you, if you're getting shitty recruiters, send me them the link.

Target Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdl1GKIbaWo

Video has less than 30K views Free plan is limited to videos less than 1 hour long and with more than 30k views

This is a very lame limitation in regards to views. Honestly trying to see if my videos were delivering enough value to justify the title.

Your score: 68

The reason I don't like AWS is because billing is always at least like 24 hours behind. By time you realize you don't goofed, the bill's already probably more than you thought.

Goes to show nothing is truly unique in this world.

We mostly just got fed up with spending hours on interviews where recruiters showed up late or just ghosted only to realize nothing materialized.

PoachMe.Dev: https://www.poachme.dev/#/devLand?reqCode=HNGOBRRR

Premise: Recruiters spam left and right, so we decided to create a website just so they could get a familiar calendar-like interface but asked them to pay for your time. As soon as we exposed the external version with the URL, we decided to make an automated template ("Great. Please book a slot on my calendar and we can chat more about this. You'll receive my resume upon confirmation of the booking. https://bk.poachme.dev/Lazaro"). After that we ended up creating a virtual business card service so that could easily create a web presence without going through a different service (https://bk.poachme.dev/kBMf).

Availability: Web

Price: $0

Cost: Nearly nothing, it just sits with my other hosted services.

Why do it? Honestly, asking someone to pay for your time is the easiest way to see who values your time. The cost to send a single spam message to thousands of developers is nearly zero and it takes time to sort through the messages to see if there's anything good. I have had experiences going from blackmail all the way to people disclosing the actual salary for the position without any money exchanging hands which proves that when your time has value it's suddenly possible for the pay bracket for a position to appear.

Yeah, the DJI Mini 3 Pro is that drone... get the basic controller version.

> imagine if companies are capped at 20-50 employees. Will it work? I think it will. What do you guys think?

This theory conflicts with Bullshit Jobs' theory (or more likely the truth) where power in an organization is derived from amount of reports someone has therefore companies must endlessly grow, only being limited by the amount of cash they can give their employees compared to the money coming in.

... nah, it has error catching, it just won't process beyond that much.

> If they continue to sell and continue to grow the customer base, profits will go up.

What I have found is that "profits is not enough", you must be making more profit than the competition.

Because profits must go up. Anything else is a failure.

Bro, they brought the girl that talked to me on campus to confirm it was me at the polygraph.

I could swear the owner claimed he had gambled the cash but maybe I'm wrong.

Wait till you cook some salmon or pick up an inexpensive slow cooker (Walmart had a 2 quart one for like $11 over the holidays)

Same as it ever was.

Word of Mouth, Proper SEO on your Website, Advertising in Dev Channels?

Basically everything other than sending me spam. Your cost to send me spam is nearly zero while my cost to sort and read your spam is rarely zero so you will be punished harshly for sending me unrequested emails.

I have a close friend who I won't name. He has a note on his LinkedIn that says "I will never buy anything from you if you call me or email me without you asking" with a list showing the people and companies that have screwed up.

I have literally seen him talk to someone and be like "hey, check my linked in again" just to have them react to their name and company being on the list. You don't need to market to developers, a good product only needs three things: what it costs, documentation that is usable and code snippets I can run my preferred language.

Your email campaign is rarely ever going to help me unless the email specifically tells me what you're product does for me and doesn't include any bullshit marketing or other whitepaper crap.

There's no future beyond the current quarter.

LOL, this is /r/agedlikemilk content.

I could swear he posted he wasn't leaving like minutes ago...

The algorithm tests are there to have an excuse to discriminate on other criteria. If you can mask your racial/age/gender reason for not hiring as a FAANG with "oh, we didn't like their algorithm solution" you always have an out.

> Don't worry, you wont be there at the org to make these "fruitful conversations" either. The AI will take your job too

I've been waiting for something to take my job for 15 years.

I started as a small developer testing radio firmware, moved on to test web firmware, now I instruct terraform how to build infrastructure and now I instruct developers on how to do things to build proper infrastructure.

I'm ready to retire but apparently I'm incapable of having an AI that can actually simulate Super Power ADHD at work, so we'll have to wait a bit.

Should HN ban the discussion of mobile apps on smartphones on its platform?

The excessive use of mobile apps on smartphones has been linked to addiction and a range of negative effects on mental and physical health [0]. Should HN consider banning the use of mobile apps on smartphones on its platform in order to promote a healthier and more focused environment for discussions?

It is ultimately up to the moderators and administrators of a given website or forum to decide whether or not to allow generated responses from language models like ChatGPT. However, allowing such responses can potentially undermine the integrity and quality of discussions on the site, as they are not necessarily grounded in the knowledge and experiences of real people. Additionally, the use of language models to generate responses in order to game a site's reputation or ranking system can be considered dishonest and potentially harmful to the community. It may be best for websites and forums to disallow the use of language models to generate responses in order to maintain the integrity of the discussions on their platforms.

In the background, it's already happening for test and dev environments.

The technical term is "repatriation" and I can tell you those snowballs coming from S3 to your onsite aren't just for looks ;)

I wonder if we'll see a 3d printable version soon.

I'm thinking of putting it on the Mini 2 and seeing what happens.
