    Yea fair point. I do think it's a good experience to try either way since the challenges are so different from that of startups. These large multinationals look for different skill…

    Yea the job market is brutal. Being unemployed and getting rejection after rejection is really the most demoralizing thing. Behavioral interviews are actually my least favorite and…

    Asians aren't counted as "diversity" either. This is why they're referred to as "an inconvenient minority" in the context of DEI.

    Yes Spotify UI/UX is absolute garbage. It's not even possible to simply view a list of all songs by an artist. Also I had to turn off autoplay because the recommendation engine wou…

    I think you're underestimating the amount of things built with nocode. I don't think most people are building landing pages anymore by handwriting code anymore. Same with blogs (eg…

    This looks awesome. Some suggestions though: - Would be awesome to be able to open an existing animation (eg. like any of the ones showcased). It's a built overwhelming for a noobi…

    Such a bloated, meandering, poor written article. Just get to the point. Gave up halfway through and author still hadn't addressed the title.

    How would that solve anything? In San Francisco drugs are practically already legalized, and filled with junkies openly doing fentanyl on the sidewalks.

    Fascinating and confirms my suspicions. The point when the questions popping up in my feed were obviously not genuine is when I lost interest in Quora. The worst was how it'd alway…

    I wonder why OpenAI doesn't try to get more feedback and training data from its users, though I do notice that sometimes it'll give me two answers and ask me to pick the better one…

    Yes it is a problem if a company is failing not just for the investors but the workers. Nobody wants to work for a sinking ship. Can't believe this even needs to be said.

    Right so every website needing a cookie banner to comply with EU regulations is not only a UX nightmare, but it doesn't even prevent tracking. Horrible pointless legislation.

    Quora is an embarrassment and died years ago when marketers took it over

    Bard is trash. In my experience it's ChatGPT > Bing Chat > Bard. Shame because Google invented the transformer architecture that enabled the technology.

    The internet would be better without mandated cookie banners. It's so damn frustrating using the internet in the EU. If you don't want to be tracked just browse in Incognito mode.
