@chr1sa Reference to the word "pigheaded"

"leverage engineering" has a certain quality that makes me think we're going to hear this term a lot in the next few months

[Michael Schade @sch]

We're kicking off a new eng team at @OpenAI led by @cadran_c. A great fit for ex-founders, Leverage Eng sits at the intersection of leading research, our business, and product, with the goal of accelerating every OpenAI employee and bringing us closer to our customers worldwide.

It would be wrong to prohibit LLMs in my case given that the django based coding task was largely written by prompting ChatGPT to create it in the first place!

[Ben Howes @ben_howes]

My approach to dealing with this as hiring manager has been to adjust up the scale of the problem, and the instructions contain "You are welcome to use LLMs and other code generation tools, but be prepared to explain your design choices" - Showing GOOD use of LLMs is a plus!

[Kelly Vaughn @kvlly]

My friends. Think before you use Chat GPT during the interview process.

@OfficialLoganK I'd love a mechanism for plugins to return an image URL for display, or other media embeds

[Ben Howes @ben_howes]

[Ben Howes @ben_howes]

@beardedjourno You're right!

[Ben Howes @ben_howes]

@djm_ It's a sad state of affairs for sure. Is it plausible that the team who published this didn't realise how uninspired the list looks?

@george_cuckoo @beardedjourno Ashton hill plantation in failand has some stunning/enormous Redwood's which come to mind

Bonus, bonus aside: Deactivating your public profile sets your profile description to `undefined`. Nice.

Friends don't let friends use cofounderslab

Even when you can get past the (frankly) hot garbage that is the design, usability problems, and terrible search... Your pain is only just beginning, thanks to users of the platform.

[Ben Howes @ben_howes]

Bonus aside: The profile allows arb. HTML and until last week when I told them, it had a class XSS vulnerability, allowing <script> tags and `onload` attributes meaning you could run arbitrary JS when someone visited your profile. They've fixed it now though.
