I do frontend and management stuff.

@joshmanders @AntWilson We try to give answers same day (not always possible) even though it goes through at least 2 people.

For companies with dedicated staff to screen, its not even strange, even without AI.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@joshmanders @AntWilson We go through resume manually (we don't get as many being a smaller company, but its still hundreds+ at a time), and discard the obvious AI ones.

And a lot of bigger companies do the same (maybe using tools, for sure), so its a number games but not putting odds in your favor.

@AdamRackis @HSVSphere @jordwalke @floydophone @andourys Because I jump between Windows/Mac/Linux as well as Android/iOS regularly and so do my peer group, so I really can't be tied to a platform. If it was cross platform, maybe, but there's better options there.

@AdamRackis @HSVSphere @jordwalke @floydophone @andourys iMessage has a fairly universal US (and I think Canada) monopoly, but in most other places its fairly dead.

Ive managed to avoid it in the US but its harder.

@floydophone @jordwalke @HSVSphere @andourys they do on Steam deck. So just need a more powerful Steam deck with a good USB C hub!

@Ian_Gay_briel Trying to remember a song or a TV show based from a mostly incorrect string of words.

That feature alone makes LLMs awesome.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@devongovett @theadamaho Will try that too, it would be pretty amazing if it worked with Playwright tests.

@yeeeerika I had to make a phone call to book an appointment recently.

Who the f still uses phones to make calls? What's next, sending a damn fax?

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@floydophone I work with auth on a daily basis and still get confused on how its supposed to work. LIke, if you're not using a password manager like 1Password to store them and just use the OS' store, how do you share them between devices? I have trouble finding info, nevermind regular users.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@braulio_sl @housecor This. Honestly even JSX is a bit much to me. Now that its been years we're all used to it and the tooling standardized around it, so its fine, but early on I just used the underlying factory functions and it was not half bad.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@AArdvarkErick @housecor Yeah, you can even see in this thread that people see differences between the two that don't exist, or bring in convention/logic from other languages they're used to, that don't apply in TypeScript.

TS interfaces aren't C#/Java interface. There's just types like any other.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@housecor There was always a shortage of those people, and that shortage is just increasing.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@housecor Head down coding was never the best place to be, but it's now essentially dead.

Converting business or customer problem into working solution that may or may not involve software? That still pays top dollar and will likely even better in the new world.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@adamwathan Azure as a whole. Everything just seems like a half assed version of other platforms.

Nothing like looking at a Redis connection string when you don't have permission, and instead of telling you that, you see the connection string with "undefined" for the username and password.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@adamwathan @dennisdebest Don't worry Adam, I'll buy 2 licenses to make up for that other person.

@NateRybner @ronsterd89 Fortunately one doesn't have to understand it, just accept it. Their wedding, their choice. Your wedding will have your rules (or had, if its already done~)

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@ronsterd89 If the couple says its a wedding where only people with green eyes and a birth mark on their left hips can come, then that's that.

If they say no kid, then it's no kid. Most you can do is ask (and don't push it). It's their wedding, their rules.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@housecor Dunno if RR7 kept the feature, but in Remix the route can be a folder, and you can put stuff anywhere, you just reexport, which kindda gives you the best of all worlds IMO.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@banndittaa @SnapVariants The one on the right is one of the best variants in the game, alongside Rainbow Alioth.

[Francois Ward @FwardPhoenix]

@alz_zyd_ If consciousness is figuring out what is the statistically most likely next word after a string of words, then yeah, sure they are.
