Pretend to and/or be motivated by things other than money, that’s the strongest thing interviewers drop people from, even though they’re motivated by money to be there.

I agree - the problem is it’s hard to see how people who say they’re using it effectively actually are using it, what they’re outputting, and making any sort of comparison on quality or maintainability or coherence. In the same way, it’s ha

College is the ultimate traditional background, so in the thread of untraditional backgrounds it’s kinda moot though.

by taurath 6mo ago
You start looking at what people have done, not their credentials. Drop the still implicit requirement for college degrees. People who have untraditional backgrounds have often gone through stuff that makes the standard path far more diffic

At my company everyone’s salary and career ladder are determined by exactly how much they dive into AI and show enthusiasm for it, regardless of whether they’re using it for something useful or they’re just competing for how much money they

If AI can 20x an engineer, it can handle all this too. Sadly it can’t.

2 things - it’s not day 1 for AI, and it’s also not dot-com (which dropped the nasdaq 80% btw). It’s the entire American economy right now. When it can’t deliver anything approaching its hype, just like all the data centers that can’t deliv

If LOC and tokenmaxxing is the future, nobody will have a job. I use AI all day every day, I’m not a luddite, I’m someone who has seen people take the same shitty shortcuts to working systems they are now. They’re wasting tons of money and
