I think that OpenRouter's goal is to have the user pick the model, so there's manual configuration for the user control and cost benefit. Maybe you meant OpenCode Zen? But let's be honest, "AI" is definitely incredi

I was about to post this too! Bridge Kids is one of my favourite indie shows. YouTube’s team is completely useless.

Three really good points. Specially the third one. Not sure why HN readers are downvoting you…

I enjoyed reading this article and learned a lot from it. Lately I’ve been writing on paper again, sharpening pencils and slowing down. It helps me stay closer to my own thoughts and to a more human pace. A pencil is just a tool too, but a

That’s true! Naysayers keep mentioning it’s due to over hiring during Covid. I’d say it’s AI investment related and AI replacing a lot of software needs. Plus, people seem to use just a couple applications or platforms nowadays.

C’mon! So, when HR manages to get real candidates, why do we have to go through 8 stage of interviews that take months? It’s humiliating.

Imagine spending 6 to 8 hours a day looking for opportunities and nothing for 1, 2 years. What are people supposed to do?

Yes, got contract work and got a couple offers too. In the past, hired developers from the list, as a hiring manager in a previous company. Overall, it’s quite hard to predict but better than nothing!

Would they be the same person? I'd risk sounding ignorant and say they wouldn't. They could be fed the same food and knowledge, but what shapes them is every random factor encountered in the real world. How would they react when r

Are you suggesting using AI/Agents to apply for roles?

This is actually impressive. If it can output each frame as layers, even more.

Sadly, some people believe that Generative AI output is the same; I find it very hard to watch and extremely cringe. I did see some good examples, but still not the same type of quality. For untrained eyes, all look the same, but I'm d

Job candidates keep facing a lot of hurdles, including scams, Trojan horses like the one presented here, ghosting, wasting candidates' time, nepotism, etc. As a candidate you can easily spend more than 8 hours a day looking for opportu

Have you tried to verify if those job positions are real? Try to apply yourself and go through the interview process to understand what's going on.

That's true! In 12 months, I got two contracts: a 3-month fixed-term contract and a previous 10-day contract role. Let's say that the landlord decides to sell the place I'm renting, I won't be able to rent another place

Thanks for the sanity check! Had a quick read on my mobile, and that was my first impression. Guess its more of a way to make the maintainers accountable instead of making npm reputation the main focus.
