My boyfriend suddenly became obsessed with going to the gym.
New clothes.
New haircut.
New confidence.
I thought he was preparing to leave me.
One day I asked why he'd changed.
He looked embarrassed.
Then admitted:
"One kid called me 'uncle' last month."
One date in 3 years.
Good looking. Funny. Smart. Great communicator.
This is the kind of guy women say they can't find. And women were ignoring him completely.
Then he said one sentence that explained everything:
My vibe coder friend built multiple AI apps over the past year. He went into an interview yesterday thinking the company would be impressed by his project showcase.
The interviewer asked him the difference between Git merge and Git rebase.
My friend has never even pushed code without Claude Code's help 😭
the first date is dead
nobody wants to lock themselves into a 2-hour hostage situation with a stranger they might hate. sitting across from each other, grinding through forced small talk, wasting time, energy, and money you'll never get back
we should go back to meeting on a park bench, reading books, and starting a walk on friday that ends with you moving in by monday
bring back the sordid affair and the everlasting craving. save the restaurants and long-winded interviews
Our rejection email went viral on Reddit yesterday.
People are shocked a company would tell a candidate exactly why they got rejected.
We're shocked that's shocking.
We asked for 3 sentences about a hard bug.
We got four paragraphs about "holistic approaches to software craftsmanship."
The take-home used temp1, temp2, temp3 as variable names.
Our company name was misspelled twice in the paragraph about attention to detail.
We told them all of that. Directly.
And we told them the door is open if they come back with work that shows they wrote it and read it before sending.
We review code the same way.
Direct. Specific. No hand-waving.
That's just how we build.
Ages 25–30 are really tough. You’re dealing with a shrinking friend group,aging parents,fixing the financial mistakes from ur early 20s,your career and your health. You’ve gotta find time to heal your mind. You just have to.
A good friend of mine, a genuinely nice guy, has a good job, earns well, and comes from a loving and supportive family. Yet for some reason, he's convinced that he won't find a good partner. He was telling me how stressed he is and how much effort he's putting into dating apps.
