Prompted Claude Code to flex its abilities by creating a "demoscene" style intro and to make sure it was braggy in fitting with the culture of the scene.

Hi Bill, I had a brief exchange with you about the Windows role a couple of months ago and you encouraged me to apply and mentioned you would flag it with the DRI - but I got a rejection. How long should we wait before reapplying and do you

Hi Bill, I've seen your Senior SWE, Windows Desktop App position listed for quite a while, given it seems you're having a hard time filling it would you be willing to loosen the "consumer facing" part of the requirements

Please point out where Tumblr’s TOS is “weirdly transphobic”. Users who post pornography are banned regardless of gender identity. Matt’s sabbatical from Automattic was already underway when this incident occurred. Disclaimer: I work for Au

I really like GitLab as a company, just such a shame they insist on candidates having years of Rails experience, quite jarring coming from a company that is so welcoming in every other aspect. I've had multiple roles where I had to lea

I applied for the Senior C# Developer role, unfortunately it didn't proceed as my C# experience is largely on the web side rather than the desktop side. I just want to say I felt valued throughout the process and that I felt Prakash re

This isn't working on IE11, just so you know.

My first thought on reading the name was perhaps this was a business whose competitive advantage was hiring convicts and other people who are disadavantaged in the job market - I'm not sure how the name Convictional relates to the prod

Here in NZ they are also the go-to for swallowing issues (they are called SLTs here - speech-language therapists). Our 10 month old daughter is fed 50/50 via bottle and nasogastric tube due to an as yet undiagnosed issue that causes he

The idea of them is they pay regular people to pick them up at night, charge them, and drop them off in the morning - and they can use this process to direct the scooters each day to the most appropriate location.

I'm surprised they haven't started adding bitterant to the oil, is there a reason that wouldn't work in this case?

They're a Microsoft shop so it was C#, SQL Server, RabbitMQ etc running on AWS. What I liked the most about the pipeline: - Speed - we spent a lot of time (as the post says) optimising the process of getting changes into production,

Neat to see an article from Pete on here - I worked with him at Pushpay, he's brilliant. The CI/CD pipeline the SREs built there was a joy to work with (and that's quite a compliment for a CI/CD pipeline!)

Thanks, unfortunately I can't take too much of the credit personally as I've only been involved in the last few months of a multi-year project. Might be Brett that you know?

Yes, this is also true :)

Yeah, only for receiving for now as far as I'm aware. As far as the reason it's restricted to certain types, I'm not sure - I'm contracting at a subcontractor of SWIFT so we're down the pipeline at the implementatio

Ha, that's interesting - validation and normalisation is the responsibility of the banks so would depend on whether the bank of the person doing the lookup accepts it as a valid email address

Yeah, the basic idea of it is faster payments + the ability to transfer to an email address/phone number/ABN. The value is in it being supported by all the various banks and being instant, so you can just log into your banking app

I just checked and found that I did receive coins way back then, haven't dealt with cryptocurrency but did some research and this is the process I went through (can't guarantee it's the best/easiest/cheapest, but it

I really like this - is the price being hidden behind the "Buy License" button a deliberate design decision? I feel the price is low enough that having it shown upfront would encourage me to buy it, so interested in your thinking.

Awesome! Their NZ office is just 10 minutes from my house, I was going to apply for a C++ dev role with them but was warned by the recruiter that everyone was expected to work 12 hours a day, so unfortunately I had to give it a miss as I wa

EDIT: To provide context since the parent comment was deleted, they were asking for a logical breakdown of why Jesus would require worship in order to provide salvation. To break it down: God is completely pure (without sin). To be with God

I think we can safely assume it is bluetooth (as the streaming stick is usually behind the TV, out of line-of-sight. Plus they need to use bluetooth for the voice controller anyway - good luck transmitting voice data over IR :)
