> An interview is and will always be a balance of your technical skill and your ability to present your work and deal with timely feedback. That’s it. An interview is whatever the interviewer wants it to be. Often it’s a probing of your

Unrelated: did this manage to work its way up to the #2 spot in under an hour because everyone on HN is worried this is about them deep down?

We're asking businesses to make additional payments to their employees' landlords. If rents were lower $25 would be a good wage to live on, but given the cost of housing, we're all paying out to landlords, even homeowners.

n = 1 but I'm personally seeing an uptick in recruiter outreach and relevant job postings (producty software eng roles.) I've also been hearing about fewer layoffs or prolonged job searches in my network (my network is mostly expe

220k earnings on 600k revenue? Does that mean your profit margin is 36% or am I missing something? I was under the impression that a successful coffeeshop runs like a ~3%-7% margin.

I'm not sure what you consider low-skilled - but have you tried to hire someone to build or fix anything recently? Labor jobs seem to demand a huge price right now - and I don't think anyone is predicting robots that can tile a ba

Anecdotally I've noticed that while the job market isn't good for software engineers, its seems to be much much worse for all the supportive roles like eng managers/product managers/designers/dev rel/ etc. In m

When I got hired as an associate engineer in 2015 the job was 50% coding and 50% technical customer support. 2 of us got hired at the same time and we would switch off weeks. On customer support weeks I would take bug reports from customers

"Skill mismatch" could also mean experience mismatch. I would imagine a mismatch is more often about a company wanting someone with 10 years experience in a particular domaine than about a Java developer needing to learn python. Y

I don’t think he’s questing the technological potential of AI, just the business viability of the current crop of AI companies offering billion dollar models. Sure, AI can do language translation - but any major money making operation can’t

Effective at what? The whole reason Portland tried something different is that the last 50 years have proven drugs laws to be largely ineffective at preventing drug abuse and its related issues. Clearly this style of decriminalizing has als

I asked a pretty straightforward question and you responded with a very vague tangent. What other options are there besides giving people homes or allowing them to live on the street?

What option is there besides give people housing, let them lived unhoused, or jail them for not acquiring housing?

You can get all high and mighty about who deserves what, or you can actually solve the problem and give people housing for free (or throw them in jail.) Would you rather be right, or live in a city without homelessness?

There’s got to be some middle ground between locking up people for substance use disorder and allowing people to make public spaces unusable with their antisocial behavior. In my mind it’s something like “drugs are legal but public drug use

Modern “truck things” are Costco runs and taking the kids to soccer practice. Maybe towing the ski boat to the lake twice a year. Real work gets done with utility vans or 15 year old trucks the size of a modern midsize suv.

Just pay the $15 for the ad free version? The entitlement people feel for a free service that takes hundreds of millions of dollars in compute and human hours to run boggles me. Don’t like ads? Don’t like subscription fees? Don’t like large

Create some sort of religion around your website. The modern big religions seem to have done a decent job keeping their fixtures around for the last 2000-3000 years.

Record every calorie you eat. Set a goal ~500-700 calories under your base metabolic rate. Once you record everything it becomes clear where the extra calories are coming from and where to improve your diet. Diligence in log keeping is ke
