How many people out there are hiring personal assistants?

The messages inside of them, which are presumably not AI-generated, aren't however.

If a friend of mine sent me some AI generated slop for my birthday I'd be more offended than if they just sent me a text that only contains the letters "hb"

The best interview I ever had was with GitLab, where they make a realistic PR/MR (but one that is obviously not actual code they'd use for anything, for the ones worried about doing free wor…

Yeah I know how to implement FizzBuzz since it's such a meme, but I've basically never used the mod operator in real code. Maybe it comes up in more math-y code I suppose, but for most backe…

I've been building out an AI/LLM-based feature at work for a while now and, yeah, from my POV it's completely useless bullshit that only exists because our CTO is hyped by the technolog…

> One, there is no money in Ed.Tech There is, but you usually have to rely on the gov't being the buyer, and not regular customers. I worked for a EdTech startup (catered to universities) so a…

If we lived in a sane world we would've long since split these psycho-filled gigacorporations like M$ up into a trillion tiny little pieces, but alas we live in a world where gov'ts let them…

I despise the direction the Jetbrains editors are headed towards. Even with the so-called "Compact Mode", the sidebars take up double the space of the old sidebars, while containing less inf…

Brought to you by the company that has the Xbox, the Xbox One, the Xbox One X and the Xbox Series X (or something like that)

The talk of AI exterminating us via paperclips is an annoying one to me that detracts from the real dangers that are currently unfolding: - scammers are having the time of their lives, and their capab…

How is this in any way different than an RNG? The numbers are completely made up, does slapping an AI label on a RNG somehow make this unique or interesting?

I'm willing to bet that for smaller companies, they just won't care enough to consider this an issue and that's what Slack/Salesforce is hedging on. I can't see a universe in …

For what it's worth, I probably have given off this vibe in interviews in the past, despite being (IMO) a decent programmer. My brain just shuts off during some interviews and I can't recall…

I just recently did an interview with Gitlab and they do this. They have a codebase that is obviously not something they monetize or use themselves for anything other than interview purposes (for the …

That's not true, scammers will definitely be using this a lot! Also clueless C-levels who want to nix hundreds of human customer support agents! You'll get to sit on the phone talking to som…

By humanity you mean Microsoft's shareholders right? Cause for regular people all this crap means is they have to deal with even more spam and scams everywhere they turn. You now have to be par…

Ah so this is that oft-touted "progress" I hear AI sycophants talk about breathlessly, ways for companies to shove more ads down our throats!

Society doesn't really accept it. Most normal people have a strong distaste for your average corpo, it's just that the corporate types are also the ones with the power and resources to fuck …

> Best OS I like apple hardware, but their OS is fucking atrocious. In the year 2024 it still doesn't have a native volume mixer, or any kind of sensible window management shortcuts. Half the …

I'd rather work with a million "lazy slackers" than kiss the ass of some soulless corporate stooge who'd kill his own family if it made him 0.01% more profit YoY.

20 bucks an hour in some areas is literally unlivable. That's around 40k yearly (before taxes), and in the areas where the minimum wage should be at least 20 an hour, that's barely enough …

The western idea of DEI has always puzzled me ever since I first came across it (or at least the D portion of DEI, which in my mind is the most important one). I'm a Serb by blood and grew up in …

Even if you're not working in the same language/framework/whatever, you can still do code reviews. You might not know all the syntax and high-level details, but even just an overview of…

The worst part being that users in the Baltics, for example, cannot create a PSN account at all, but they were able to purchase Helldivers 2 via Steam and play it for the last 4 months. This means…

Do you guys help with visas/residence permits? I'm on a Highly Skilled Migrant visa. Seems like a cool company!

So it got the whole thing pretty much correct... Except for stuff like taking you down opposite directions?
