Check out https://polyfill.work we’re trying to figure out a way out of this mess of applying for 150 jobs to only hear back from 1 or 2

Interesting idea. I signed up.

I noticed that the email confirmation links are using http:// vs. https://. Chrome has started to flag http:// links with a full-page speed bump, saying it is insecure. Perhaps those links should use https://?

I did try manually switching to https:// in the URL but Chrome didn't like the cert there either.

ChatGPT is passing quantum physics tests. "ChatGPT can answer it" should not be a thing that we say. ChatGPT can recite every single algorithm known to man, wondering about your interview process.

ChatGPT can regurgitate existing answers, it is very bad at programming when met with novel questions. See how far it can go in AdventOfCode.

It works fine.

You're assuming that I think baby-killers shouldn't be working in the defense industry or that I think there shouldn't be a defense industry or something. No, I want people that aren't baby-killers to avoid it. That's all. The defense industry is important and needs staff, staff that are OK with babies being killed.

> It's starting to sound like you're a baby-killing defense industry employee Couldn’t be further from the truth. No defense, no finance is the promise I made to myself when I started my career. My point is that you are insulting the intelligence of people both in and out of the field with toxic, pithy remarks like that. It serves no purpose but to agitate.
