did you read the post? because it looks like you did not
przadka··on The UX of Good Reading
hi there, I am the author of this post.

> commits those very sins:

you are wrong, let me explain:

1. There is nothing wrong with rhetorical questions per se - I just feel that LLMs often put them between sentences that do not require connection. I would even argue that any LLM would vote against putting the questions I wrote like this because they feel out of place. But I wanted them there.

2. "The solution isn't more polish—it's more humanity" isn't the pattern I'm referring to. The slop pattern is using "This isn't just X—it's Y" for emphasis reinforcement, like "This isn't just wrong—it's baffling." Mine is a simple contrast statement.

Thanks for the comment though - I'm glad a fellow human read it carefully enough to have an opinion on it! :)

If you found it interesting, join Reef Technologies and tackle complex technical challenges like this on your own terms:

- Contribute from wherever you like - we are fully remote

- Set your own time commitment, as long as it’s at least 30h per week

- See how we work in our handbook: github.com/reef-technologies/handbook

- Influence the way we operate through our Sociocracy 3.0 decision-making process

Salary on a B2B contract:

- $45–$70 USD or 190–295 PLN per hour

- $7,560–$11,760 USD or 31,920–49,560 PLN per month if you work 40 hours per week (most of us work a bit less)

- Flexible work schedule (as measured with a time tracker)

- Rates are automatically adjusted for inflation twice a year

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of programming experience, including at least one year with Python (open source and significant personal projects count!).

Thanks for your comment. As I wrote in another reply: The screenshot feature is enabled to allow team members to review their past activities for accurate tracking. Beyond that specific use, we don't review screenshots. We considered building an internal solution where screenshots would be stored locally, but ultimately decided Hubstaff meets our needs.
przadka··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2024)
Thanks for your comment. We understand that productive work isn’t limited to keyboard or mouse activity. Meetings, brainstorming sessions, or time spent problem-solving all count as billable hours and are accounted for accordingly in Hubstaff.
przadka··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2024)
Thanks for sharing your concerns. I'd like to clarify our approach to work hours and Hubstaff usage.

We pay full-time or part-time salaries based on an employee’s agreed-upon schedule and ensure compensation is fair and accurate.

We use Hubstaff primarily to track work across different clients and projects. The screenshot feature is enabled to allow team members to review their past activities for accurate tracking. Beyond that specific use, we don't review screenshots. We considered building an internal solution where screenshots would be stored locally, but ultimately decided Hubstaff meets our needs.

We also understand that valuable work isn't just about keyboard or mouse activity. Meetings, brainstorming, and time spent solving problems all count as billable hours, which we track through Hubstaff.

We're committed to a remote-first culture that empowers all team members and value open discussions about our practices.
