That's the story of almost every product ever. If you're selling a product, the promotional material has to be on point and amazing just to hook people in.

It doesn't matter what you're doing, there's always a trade off to taking a shortcut and rarely does the price not need paying. We're seeing lots of code being ~written~ generated, deployed, checked (tested manually), th

I've 'vibe coded' some internal tooling apps and it feels like i've joined a new company and been given a legacy codebase to work on, despite it being a week old. I just assume all the posts that claim they've got a

We’ve managed to put quite a dent in the feature backlog we had for our admin tooling. We knew what features we wanted, they didn’t require marketing or comms but did require time to spend doing them. I did want it to improve our e2e testin

I'm so torn with verification on social media. But i'm surprised companies whose main source of revenue is ads and original content aren't putting something akin to 'verified human' tags on users for all to see. Not

It's not just their flagship products. It extends to nearly _everything_ they release. I have a relatively small workforce and office management platform. When MS Places was announced, we thought it was the end. We had a good run, but

Total over saturation of that end of the market, and given it seems CompSci and SoftEng degrees are still in vogue it seems the trend will continue. Coupled with companies cutting back and wanting to maximize value they end up focusing on t

the office culture / remote workers don't collaborate always makes me laugh. It reminds me of a time when I worked in an office and a PR spent over a week waiting to be reviewed because one team didn't tell another team. They

There are so many directions it could go in. I imagine we'll be revisiting trends from the past - LLM generated apps will be everywhere and behind the curtain, they'll be a lot like a VB6 app from the 90s - System Analysts will be

Very broadly speaking, I think it's going to have the same impact as search engines had where productivity increases but understanding decreases. I very much doubt we're going to see a massive shift where everyone becomes a system

If you could filter out everything except the automated 'new job' and 'new skill' posts and mix in some company press releases it would be so much better.

Slight delay, but yeah. what sky2224 said. For some time Twitter seems to have been the defacto real time announcement tool for companies. Now Twitter has been made private seems ripe to be replaced by a startup.

You've worked at and founded startups and so you must have done sales and marketing. This is no different, you're just pitching yourself. Understand who your audience is and what they're looking for and don't forget, pre

Something along the lines of LinkedIn and the company announcement part of twitter. I, and im sure many others, can do without the stream of BS that comes out of LinkedIn. But as far as an online job history and to search for companies, it&

You've laid out the dream for a lot of developers around the world. Agency life is probably 80% sales and 20% delivery. The agency pattern you've mentioned is common because it consistently works and everyone (myself included) faw

All systems should have an upper limit harder to them, it's not that hard to implement and it's just an ultimate safeguard. In the backend, limit image size to say 50mb, the number of images a user can upload to 1k and the amount

I think this is the way forward, their answer wouldn't turn an offer into a rejection but it would strengthen their offer. I must admit I also ask this question but have never been told not to and I find that every so often you come ac

This aligns with my own experience, though it seems to be one extreme or the other. Either the interviewer is fascinated and wants to know how it was done (rather than anything to do with implementation), or they don't care. I don&#x27

For tech and nontech, it's terrible. Nontech roles are just a sea of prompt-generated answers, they don't tie into the applicants' experience and are usually about 200 words of waffle. If you're applying for something, t
