This reads too much like it was LLM generated. I can't say for sure if it was but I have an allergic reaction to the short snappy know-it-all LLM writing style.

> People love to interpret the results in the most negative way possible because it's a threat to their occupation and identity. OR it could be because their concerns are genuine b…

same experience here, fool me once I guess

Personally I have always spent more time than I would have liked online. AI slop degrades the quality enough that it makes it easier to cut back on that wasted time.

Because they aren't probabilistic parrots? If they get it wrong, there's usually an understandable reason behind it.

> That was not just careless – it was wrong lol

Much talk, less say, probably AI

Does it impact you that much?

You NEED to be getting at least 1 interview (with a human, never do one sided AI interviews) per month. Interviewing is a skill and unfortunately the best way to practice that skil…

When LLMs become better than humans at the following: 1. Knowing what you don't know 2. Knowing who is likely to know 3. Asking the question in a way that the other human, with the…

Accountability

Let's put things into perspective. You could be made unemployable even without AI, all it takes is a bit of bad luck. This fear of AI taking over your job is manufactured.

I think people should get paid for the time they spend commuting too and from work. Companies would change their tune on WFH real quick if that were the case.

The most ironic part is that AI skills won't really help you with job security. You touched on some of the reasons; it doesn't take much skill to call an API, the technology is in …

I wouldn't say it's as clear cut as that. One can make a reasonable argument for why the leetcode grind is the lesser evil. If the goal is to keep your motivation up, you have to f…

Any overlap between interview skills and job performance is a coincidence. You have to accept this on a visceral level. Alternatively, remember that the reason the company is makin…

This guy startups.

For most other ideas you can build a quick MVP to validate or perhaps even just a landing page. Games take much longer to get off the ground. I think the reason we don't see many L…

Agreed but it's even more fundamental than that. We don't even have a universally accepted definition of intelligence. The only universally agreed on artifact of intelligence that …

I tried this but it did not go well. The problem is that being unemployed and having no income puts you in a bad position to build something of value. Another problem is that job h…

AI will make you fast in the beginning but after a certain point your lack of understanding will catch up to you. If you feel pressure to always skip understanding then that seems …

I started getting into game development which unexpectedly reduced the amount of time I wasted on youtube.
