RIP legend!

Because people like to hide behind curtains. You’re using a throwaway account for expressing a common concern. That’s the problem!

Myself, I try my best to provide feedback to candidates, help others write the job spec, etc. I find that a big percentage of people who are involved in the interview process have no empathy towards others and no interest whatsoever in respecting people’s time.

This can only change if we use our humanity when interacting with each other’s.

Mobile site doesn’t work well

You’re committing a crime if you dare to ask to work remotely or even try to negotiate a fair salary.

Having to commute to the office is a problem.

Meanwhile it’s ok to replace people by “AI Agents” that live in the cloud. Go figure.

In that hypothetical case, you’d invest in the robot industry and security. The poor would try to eat the rich, right?

That’s a fair hypothesis.

Software as we know it, will disappear.

AI can probably generate music that sounds like Bob Marley but who would pay to watch it perform live? Even if free…

Unbelievable!

Search for robot humanoid. It’s very advanced nowadays, can dance, do parkour, martial arts, etc. There are several initiatives and easy to discover. Some even look like CG as it’s hard to believe.

I donate to Zig software foundation. I used to donate to Wikipedia too. Other than that, whenever I can, I try to give to other people and positive initiatives.

Sounds like a good option. I’ll try something similar next time.

GitHub actions provide me the best experience I ever encountered when dealing with ops.

I pair it with bash scripts where I find important to run outside GitHub facilitating test and maintenance.

Although, I still find need to run multiple times or iterate over the actual GitHub action run time, which is a bit slow to iterate but find it best to catch any issues. If the dev feedback loop fixed it save me a lot of precious time. I know there’s a third party to run locally but it’s not the same…

Thus, bash scripting is great due to portability.

For me, space+f is a "fuzzy search", a filter to find by filename. You can omit some characters, e.g. `pack/back/conf` would show `packages/backend/config.z`.

I have muscle memory now, so I'd have to open the editor to confirm it. There is also another mode, that works a bit like grep I think? I haven't used it but seems that you can look for matches in file content.

Congratulations!

I used to believe that a File explorer is crucial in my text editor; after using Helix for more than a year, I’ve discovered that is not required at all; space+f much faster use flow. I work with split terminal windows, where I have supporting windows to navigate the file system.

Happy to try a file explorer once again, it’ll be interesting to see how I feel a year later.

I know two people who got the o1 visa, without any top skills. Professionally, their work was very poor and their track record exaggerated, if not fake. During the time they got theirs accepted (which showed up on my Twitter timeline), noticed that plenty of other random people were celebrating getting theirs too. All approved around the same period. I’m pretty sure that it was the o1 visa because I clicked to try to understand what that meant. And was also curious how someone so untalented got it and why so many people were mentioning it on Twitter (I understand the algorithm was curating these for me as I showed interest).

Even if LLM can do everything any software developer is capable of doing, it doesn’t mean it’ll solve interesting and profitable problems that humans or systems need. Just because most or some Hacker News readers can code, and some solve extremely difficult problems doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful and make profit.

I prefer to keep video off and I think everyone should do whatever please them. If I’m taking notes, I’m not watching others videos at all.

If you fail to find US-based candidates and are open to the UK, let me know, and I'll send a reference for a good Product designer.

That’s the gold digger’s approach. It’s quite saddening! When I find myself looking for a new job, I do my best to look for open opportunities shared to everybody, not through obscure connections. I like to imagine that everyone should have access to the same opportunities. Of course that if somebody gets in touch based on past experiences or circumstances that’s fair!

Maybe some of these networking people are the same that force others to come to the office to entertain them?

Great statement “be an active participant in your job search”. That says everything about the job seeker!

Hi, I never had a LinkedIn account or profile. Been working professionally for more than 15 years. It’s a good way to avoid distractions. You might miss on being told about opportunities, but other than that, are you sure you’re being cancelled for not having one?

When I interview, I often ask the recruiter to share the cv, portfolio, and GitHub/other. As they often just share a LinkedIn URL but that’s up to the interviewer and team to decide if enough to compromise theirs and the candidates time.

The author predicted it.

Does anyone remember Codeigniter docs? Was quite good as far as I can remember

I’ve been using Bun for a year. It works.

Bun is fantastic! It saves me so much time. Thank you!

Good news! I’ve moved to Affinity many years ago but recently was purchased by Canva which is extremely worrying and sad.

No need to write a silly comment with almost as pointless as the article maybe?

You are absolutely right, he did indeed share those thoughts. I do remember now! Thanks

Good news! If all goes well, seems that 0.14.0 will bring async/await https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/6025
