I built a daily puzzles site at https://dailybaffle.com , and I'm working on promoting it and releasing the mobile app for it this month. Turns out it's a lot of work to promote things!

I did not go to an Ivy, but I did go to a recognizable engineering school in the northeast (not MIT.)

Both equally. I apply to a lot of stuff on BuiltIn, mostly.

I honestly have no idea. The last place I worked is pretty well-known. Not big tech, but a recognizable name to most people. I send out a lot of applications: those 25 interviews are the result of 150 applications in the last two months or

I've been able to get something like 25 interviews in 2 months despite having long gaps on my resume and nothing especially impressive to my name. So I suspect you might be going about this wrong. I haven't gotten an offer yet, th

The part that eludes me is how you get from this to the capability to debug arbitrary coding problems. How does statistical inference become reasoning? For a long time, it seemed the answer was it doesn't. But now, using Claude code da

This literally says nothing - are we supposed to infer that they are putting the product into maintenance mode and will no longer be developing new features for it? This is a masterpiece of corporate nullspeech.

I love the idea of this site but have always been disappointed by the fact that it's more of a slideshow than actual animations. You have to do a fair bit of interpolation if you aren't experienced.

If anyone's looking for new word games, I built The Daily Baffle which might appeal to some of you. Check it out at dailybaffle.com!

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks.

I use claude code daily, but I've never been in a situation where Claude code was "deciding which product to use," that doesn't make sense to me. Claude is never on the web reading documentation - as far as I can tell th

I think HN might enjoy Truthsorting and the Pathword especially.

Wow, good catch. It is exactly the same post but listing mechanical engineering against instead of software engineering. And this is from a new account.

What's wrong with microsoft and github? I can't lie, between this comment and the "writing down people's github handles out of spite just in case" you are coming off as someone with a lot of grievances.

See now while I love this play I don't find that exchange notable. It's very plain, no? The implication is that one thought the other was going to say something but he wasn't. This exact dialogue takes place in real life regu

Literally everyone hated Clippy. It was an absolute mockery of a useful assistant or feature, and at the time everyone detested Microsoft. I think this post is satire.

I didn't know what bogan meant either so I looked it up and I have to infer we are speaking with an Australian or New Zealander, hence the small vocabulary differential in our English.

I'll give you my two cents - I took a job in Perl in 2017 and set about learning it and found its community to be the most snobbish and unfriendly of any programming subcommunity I had ever encountered. The language had many strange qu

It is less about the content and more about the design. It is hard to skim. Recruiters receive thousands of resumes and need to be able to get the key points at a glance, and I just don't feel this design effectively works toward that

True, but I don't see a separate resume on the site. Correct me if I missed it but my understanding is that he is using that CV as a resume.

Well, I think there's a middle ground between "tiktokifying" and "having your CV look like an essay." Brevity is the soul of wit, after all. These summaries of projects/positions are just very long. In this con

Two initial thoughts: 1. This author's writing is extremely, uncommonly good. Good enough to write a book and have it sell. "Competing with the past of the economy," "residual behaviour of a world that treated labour as

That's actually kinda hard, no? Say the server has a counter. When you load the page, it's at 57, so it displays that you would be ordering #57. While you're looking at this, someone else loads the page - what number do you s

It didn't come across to me that way at all, not even a little.
