Did a few interviews during the summer and received 2 offers. No AI involved, except screening the CV.

But one thing is very common. It's that the cultural fit interviews are longer and carry more value than ever (possibly more than technical interview). Out of 5 stages, 2 or 3 are meeting non tech people, coming to the office, having an informal chat, etc. Companies really want to know you as a person and are very careful who they pick. It's the same for remote, hybrid or office based work.


I actually think this is a good thing. While the technical side is important, I think that having a person who the team gets along with and has a similar mindset is more important than ever.

Technical gaps will always be there, and people will have to work with those and learn.

Maybe I am just talking from the perspective of a SWE that is not exceptional, but this is my feeling.


I get the author's point, but it's a bit "light". I enjoyed this article which truly helped me to see other perspective: "The Case Against Travel" which cites great philosophers and writers https://archive.is/OCBJf


Perhaps. My worry is that magazines will be full of AI generated content.

I enjoy reading some very niche magazines and, at the moment, I cannot tell if it's AI generated or not. So, as long as the reader is entertained, magazines will do just fine.

Either that, or we will develop some sort of proof that the content is human generated, not AI.


So you went back into software development after 5 years? Maybe you had a burnout and just needed to rest


I read it that OP has left IT and rested then got back to some freelance/co-op/own softwate development.

I am on the same fence, just on my notice period in the shit show called corporate IT where there is 90% time spent on toxic politics.

Now dreaming to burn some savings, detox and then play with Raspberry Pi projects.


I have worked with computers for decades, I love it, and for me to not even want to look at a computer was impossible for me

I made it through the Army (decades ago), I ran my own company, handled employees, etc. I have no problem with hard work and stress. My joy for computers was destroyed for a while, and it had nothing to do with the work itself, it was due to targeted intentionally malicious discrimination from the top

Here’s the answer for you. Tldr; 15% performance increase, in some cases up to 40% increase, in the others 5% decrease. It all depends.

Yes please!


Great, will do - what email address?


k5p5pdohi@mozmail.com


Okay great, I will send it there when it's done!


UI looks great, and it's something I would be interested to try. Why PayPal though?


Thank you! We chose PayPal to ensure clubs and organizations can use our platform without needing a bank account or 501c3 registration, we also plan to leverage PayPal's non-profit transaction discount program for clubs who _are_ registered as 501c3 to provide even lower fees.

A lot of small-medium sized clubs today use a pretty scrappy set of tools to get by (PayPal / Sheets / Forms) but we're going to offer a x10 better experience paired with low transaction fees.

If you want to tell me more about what you'd use embolt for feel free to shoot me an email over at grant at embolt.app!


Strong disagree. I forgot to renew a domain a while ago and contacted their customer support. They asked $150 for a domain renewal. Registered domain somewhere else for $10. Moved away from Hover since then.
