I don't know about you guys, but that's not the brand I want to buy a computer from. Location of manufacture doesn't come in to it.

Can we get a list of the 29% that are looking for real skills? I have applications to send.

No notes, just support for this rad idea. You can just do stuff!

Apples and oranges. But if they start sending me slop the outcome will be the same.

If my friends start adding LLMs to our group chats I'm gonna be in the market for some new friends.

Don't give in to the dark side! But if you must, there's actually stuff built in to JetBrains IDE's https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/code-completion....

Oh, so your hiring process asking about my high school grades isn't just some weird out of touch remnant. You purposely choose the absurdity. Good to know, I'll continue my policy of not applying for your jobs.

To provide a perspective on, and reasons for, not using them. Specifically surrounding concerns about quality, maintainability, and keeping your mind engaged in the process.

A more feelings-ey take on the common "get comfortable being uncomfortable" type advice. I enjoyed the perspective shift.

Yours is not the first post asking about this here. Which in and of itself says something. I don't use them, at all. I briefly tried the local tab completion stuff offered in JetBrains products. It lasted an hour or two. The log me

Well, I would tell me that the choices seem pretty clear. Either I have to learn to do the other half of the work, pay someone to do it, or find a co-founder that wants to do it. Each have their pros and cons.

Pretend that I came to you and said: "I have been working on a marketing campaign and business plan for this app. I'm really passionate about it but I don't know how to code or how to build and distribute an app, and I don&#

I've been in a union before. The benefits were bad, the pay was bad, after negotiations they were still bad. The union said "we tried." So I have trouble seeing them as the panacea that is marketed.

Do these jobs get posted in all the normal places, or is there somewhere else I should look?

I wish I had "do my own thing for a while" money. Sounds like you found a nice place to still do something useful but catch your breath. I'm hoping I can find something similar.

I've been thinking really hard about it. Just gotta pay the bills until I can find something that works.

I think we're going to see more of this. The general result of all the RIF/outsourcing seems to still be that the onshore employees workload increases and they burn out. I'm genuinely glad that you said enough is enough. I

Yeah, it's currently full of AI shovelware because that's what the hype bubble demands, but there's a lot more good stuff here than not. But they also have only had an account for an hour and clearly didn't read the whol

I feel that right in my soul. The other side of the coin is they are currently destroying the talent pipeline by keeping smart motivated people out of roles where they could learn fast and grow. The myopic strategy(or lack thereof) is ast

Yeah, I've heard about that 174 stuff too. Even if it was changed tomorrow and it was the actual reason for all the stagnation in hiring that some people say it is, I would expect it to take months for that impact to start showing up.

How strict is something like that on the demands for CAD and Electrical Design stuff? Because I've never done any of that. I'd be happy to learn it, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore.

I'm not terribly hard to find, but vibe checking all the Ask HN readers is about as much "talking about it" as I really want to do. I normally try to keep focused on the positive and use my time constructively. Happy to mak

Saw that article a while back where even Glassdoor was admitting something like a third of their job posts were probably ghost jobs. I think that's hurting everyone though, all for the same reasons.

No LinkedIn, I couldn't take another "this is what appendicitis taught me about B2B sales" post. But I bothered all the recruiters I know and fed my resume into the paper shredder of all the companies candidate portal early
