I should clarify that my post is mostly about the tech industry because that’s all I really know. It’s a field where you can get some leeway and figure shit out. If you’re a doctor, they’re gonna check your background and credentials pretty thoroughly and I don’t recommend lying in a field like that.

Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.

The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.

Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.

Hey another cool one! Thanks!

You asleep or something?

Nobody is crying about getting arrested. The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process. The people risking their safety know the risks. ICE and the police are breaking the law by obscuring their faces and badge numbers, but you’re complaining about working class folks breaking laws written by the ruling class. Laws that they constantly ignore.

Yes, we should follow the laws like our government officials and police always do. Give me a fucking break lmao.

What the fuck, this story is insane.

In my personal projects, I don’t use anything. I wrote a set of utilities and functions in SCSS years ago that let me easily create reusable variables and classes that already do what TW does, but with less bloat and overhead. I get project-specific spacing, colors, font classes, everything.

I also highly recommend picking up Andy Bell’s Complete CSS course.

The subtext here: “if you post anti-Israel stuff, you can kiss your chances goodbye!”

It’s really crappy at trying to address its own mistakes. I find that it will get into an infinite error loop where it hops between 2-4 answers, none of which are correct. Sometimes it helps to explicitly instruct it to format the data provided and not edit it in any way, but I still get paranoid.

If working with AI has taught me anything, ask it absolutely NOTHING involving numbers. It’s fucking horrendous. Math, phone numbers, don’t ask it any of that. It’s just advanced autocomplete and it does not understand anything. Just use a search engine, ffs.

It’s not actually illegal but it is heavily restricted. Basically no over-the-counter or online purchase kits:

According to the provisions of the Genetic Information Law, genetic tests can only be performed in Israel in medical-genetic laboratories approved by the Ministry of Health according to the conditions specified in the law.

The tweet is also only partially true based on what I can find. It’s not illegal to post the results publicly, but it wouldn’t surprise me if posts like that mysteriously vanished from platforms.

It speaks to the control Israel exerts over its own people and the narrative. It could also speak to their isolationist society and paranoia about being exposed for the massive fraud the country is.

Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.

Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.

Don’t worry. MAGA dummies will find a way to support it. They’ll twist themselves into a pretzel if required.

“We do not provide bulk information to any government.”

Millions of dollars on the other hand…

You’re right, the dot com bust was far worse. That feels like forever ago these days.

The VR hype was such a poor investment. It’s a tech that has never taken off in any way that’s large enough for the profits they demand I think the only place it’s gotten marginal interest in, is the gaming PC crowd, and even then, it’s still very niche. It feels like the further things progress, the more detached from reality the “innovations” become.
