> the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise I’m finding it absolutely brutal. I’ve never encountered anything like it. I could be doing something wrong, though.

If you leave RSU-land there are tons of midsize companies, fully remote, filling headcount pretty quickly Get a third party recruiter It was brutal for me in that tier last year and before, but now its ridiculous

I feel like I'm hitting those midsize companies, and I'd love to be at one, but my applications get passed over like crazy.

At the same time, RSU-land is interested in me, and I have active processes with Apple and Amazon. Yet, not to sound like I'm my own worst enemy, I don't know that I have what it takes to get in at those companies. I know I've got solid skills and valuable experience, but at the end of the day... I'm up against a ton of talented people who know how to play the game, you know?

So strange to have huge companies reach out to me (I didn't even apply) and yet tiny places in my city or abroad and remote won't even give me a moment to pitch myself to them.

This made me smile :) if (looping.mode === "off") { // If you waited for a day, you deserve to see this workaround... // Since there is no way to not loop a gif using gifwrap, // let's just put a reeeeaaaaallly long delay after the last frame. return 8640000; }

only gotta wait 2.4 hours though, it's missing a zero :)

Oh 100%, the hosting is more than fitting. I had meant to refer to the app's non-UI code (machine learning to place meme glasses)! Apologies for the lack of clarity.

Ah, gotcha! Hahah, yeah, I'm sure this is exactly the use case folks were thinking of when dreaming of AI applications decades ago...

I'm a Google employee. After looking at this demo I can tell you're spiritually a Googler in ways I can't quite articulate.

I’m sorry, but this comment reads as “culty” to me. Google has 180,000+ employees, of which tens of thousands must be engineers. What does “Googler” mean. Someone who is passionate, hacky, and creative?

If so, why do we need to slap a corporate label onto them? Can’t you just describe them as such?

I’m not trying to be cynical or rude, but this just feels wrong to me.

Nice, this reminds me that I made myself some time ago an avatar for a forum, and it has these crazy eyes standing still. Unless a few minutes passed, when they rolled. Only one person noticed it.

Every company has a corporate culture, including Google, and my comment has a heavy dose of self deprecation in it.
