tayo42··on Growing tribe of jobless techies is stuck in Silicon Valley's new reality
Probably if you have their exact experience requirements and willing to go to an office in San Francisco. Then you need to do the leet code thing and if your lucky get picked from the final candidates and get a low ball offer.
tayo42··on I’ve joined Anthropic

I don't think the entire US matters for this point your trying to make. What are college educated people making in a city like Boston.

tayo42··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
Rust has a ton of other features besides safe. Like exhaustive checking of enum variants and the ability to avoid using null with option and result.
tayo42··on Googlebook
LAX to Tokyo is 1100 per person. I could do the rest of the trip on 60 dollars a day? That's like Thailand prices maybe.

Socially awkward geek isn't dei
tayo42··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
> The career of a pro athlete has a maximum lifespan of around fifteen years. You have the opportunity to make a lot of money until around your mid-thirties, at which point your body just can’t keep up with it.

If you believe this about your software career, how do you think your going to switch into another career as a junior and keep up?

Great, so 5 more years of exhaustion lol

What are your prompts like?

tayo42··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
> Are there plenty of jobs available outside of software? Yes

None that matter, you're not going to reskill into another career in 3 months that severance covers or even a year

tayo42··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% of its workforce
> lot of people here and in the industry in general seem to optimise for compensation package and put blinkers on themselves for other factors that are definitely relevant.

This strategy basically puts you in the top 5% earners though.

Ever try waking up early and doing your work stuff before work?
tayo42··on Days without GitHub incidents
I wonder what morale is like at github. This is like gamer level hating
tayo42··on I rebuilt my blog's cache. Bots are the audience now
Ghost blogs platform already has a cdn as part of their product so, makes even less sense to me.

Maybe we're being trolled and the op is crowd sourcing solutions by posting something ridiculous and getting us to put solutions up

tayo42··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
OK shitty job market means different things to different people.

For my self, I was making over 300k, took a job (remote) at a little over 200, and now struggling to get that much and considering jobs at 170-180. I think the job market sucks, those jobs paying 300+ would normally respond to me aren't.

tayo42··on AI Self-preferencing in Algorithmic Hiring: Empirical Evidence and Insights
If I could give two resumes one for the recruiter and one for the hm I would.

But as an applicant, I'm dealing with recruiters who think Java and Javascript are basically the same.

tayo42··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
You didn't give a lot of info

How much are you getting paid?

Going into the office is important too, are you in sf?

tayo42··on LLMs consistently pick resumes they generate over ones by humans or other models
Llms were good for being objective and helping cut out stuff from mine. Harder to do when you personally think everything you ever did is important.

The mother's are now working. So they're bonding less. I think that's what he means not that father's are taking away mother-child bonding time.
