Most “normies” have no idea what it can or cannot do, but they’ve heard at least the one buzzword and probably seen an ad for “Apple Intelligence.” Maybe had a laugh at the idea of an “AI boy/girlfriend” and would be curious to check i

I get the point, but I don't think that's universally true. Especially in the less glamorous corners of the tech industry -- yes, you have some younger people looking to bounce, but most of the people who actually keep the lights

How does a layover in Dublin put you in UK jurisdiction? I have seen advice in big companies to only take a burner phone when going to China on business. Perhaps the same will apply to the UK.

Lawson is big in Thailand, but I only see them at the BTS Sky Train stations. Well, I might have seen one in a mall but I'm not 100% sure, also in an airport. Interesting to hear they're from Ohio. Their logo is incongruousy m

Why would a big-non-tech company not have the same desire to avoid lawsuits? And yet this interviewing problem seems to only affect tech companies.

As someone with a pretty long career already, and who's comfortable talking about it, I was a bit surprised that in three interviews last year nobody asked a single thing about any of my previous work. One was live coding and tech tri

I'm not really clear on how the "Vibe Shift" thing is going to make this easier, but doesn't it seem like now is a great time to be doing "backfills" if you pay FAANG money? Setting the expectation that you can

Closing the Western European offices, possibly. The Eastern ones still provide a lot of value for money and much less pushback.

What do you mean by "can't afford to?" Because you can't possibly mean you think candidates are going to fly out for an interview at their own expense. Traditionally (i.e. pre-Covid) flying out a senior candidate was the

I'm enjoying uv but I wouldn't say the problem is "fully" solved -- for starters it's not uncommon to do `uv add foo` and then 5K lines of gobbledygook later it says "missing foo-esoterica.dll" and I have

I'm trying to do the same but with uv instead of poetry. So far so good, and it helps that for me delivering as a docker container is a requirement, but I have no idea what's going to happen if I need to run "real" ML s

I don't think it's esoteric, I just don't think it's used much in real-life, day-to-day software engineering as practiced by most professionals. I didn't mean to imply it's a high hurdle, just that IMO a minor

Yes, exactly, I would (naïvely) assume it's common among e.g. ML specialists, who are in high demand and thus hard to recruit. I'm sure there are a lot, but if I had to extrapolate from experience ("OK, who's good at ma

I don't think it makes sense to prevent it becoming more selective, but I do think it makes sense to avoid passing over candidates who can do the job. And your best (only?) data on who can actually do the job is who is currently doing

Veering off topic a bit, but I wonder what would happen if a company required that for any new hiring filter for Role X, it must pass everyone currently in Role X or above.

Not to pile on, but if linear algebra is really a part of the day-to-day job and not some manager’s mistaken idea of a proxy for more general talent, then you’re hiring specialists and the pool will not be that large. People who remember

That’s interesting, I never considered something like that. But at that low price, surely you have a bunch of customers being watched by each employee, and then talking to only one at a time — isn’t it distracting to see your “double” chatt

I'm hoping for this effect, as more and more I work with people who don't consider `make` the default (or, more often, have never heard of it). But I think the hard part -- for any build system -- is achieving the ubiquity `make`

It's hardly an age verification if it just requires the bearer to have an adult's ID card. You borrow your friend's card, or you "borrow" your parent's card, or you pay someone who sees this market opportunity.

The crazy thing is that I originally signed up for private because it was cheaper than public… at the beginning anyway. I much prefer the Austrian model, in which — I believe anyway — everyone has to pay for public, but then you can get ex
