~~Have you considered a copyleft licence like LGPL?~~ Answered in a sibling comment

you're right about MIT vs GPL confusion. people brainwashed themselves into thinking MIT is "more open", because it's more permissive, but it lets others profit off your code without contributing back. GPL makes them share or pay to relicense, since you own the copyright. with MIT, they don’t need to ask. MIT just benefits big corps. GPL better protects the open-source spirit, and paradoxically, the ownership of your…
And yes, people being able to use your code for whatever they want is absolutely more open than having restrictions on how/who gets to use it. One other model that can also work well is to dual license as GPL + commercial, so people who want to publish their work can use the GPL license but you can potentially fund the project from license sales to closed source users using the commercial licensing option. I see this…
Yes, this is why people should use free not open , and GPL is more free when you report to the entire community otherwise you are in the famous case from a story where an USAian was claiming "Amerika is the land of the free, we are free to own slaves"

Do you feel like Claptrap did?[0]. In all seriousness, good work. Sorry about the rejection, but it reminds me of the story about the Homebrew guy getting rejected by Google[1]. [0] https://youtu.be/hDzWw5rfefQ [1] https://x.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768

To give the full quote, it says: > I found out that Anthropic had an open position in the team implementing the secret, unreleased feature of Claude Desktop using enigo. where enigo is his input library. It's quite interesting that you chose to end your quote a few words before the end of the sentence.
You got me, adding “using enigo” makes all the difference — I guess position is exclusively for working with this one library and that’s the position they got overloaded with applications on and couldn’t process one sent by OP.

The #1 way to not get hired is to be a dick. The brilliant asshole is the most toxic person you can have on your team. Don’t be an asshole.
Exactly this. No amount of cred, smarts, and genius that ends with "and I'm a bit of dick" will save you from my automatic red-line veto when hiring. I'm far from alone in this.

How so? Care to elaborate? I get that bloggers/educators can sometimes be not the best fit for IC roles but doing open source seems like a huge advantage.
I was part of the selection committee for a position once, where we selected the more junior engineer. The probably most simple explaination would be that for some roles you like to have someone that can be easier "shaped" into a certain role. Someone who is already successful may bring their own system of doing things. This is great if it is a good fit, but can produce frictions if it isn't. The next thing is that i…
>The worst one was talking about how it would be a relaxing position for them
What's wrong with that? Can't you compensate being lazy with being efficient?
Good findings, the rest not surprising tho.. online recruitment doesn't work at all these days. most likely your app wasn't read by anybody meaningful and did not trigger right flags in the HR system to even be spotted by clueless ladies working there. This post can give you some visibility unless somebody sees it as frustration/negativity then they won't bother either. aside of the core topic, best way to get a job…
