Is this it? https://blog.aurynn.com/2015/12/16-contempt-culture/ . There are several HN threads discussing this post over the years.

Yes and yes. I've so far switched from Sol to Terra but not sure even that will be sufficient. This also feels like it neuters a lot of the utility of banked/paid resets, since I'm not willing to re-up the weekly limit when I

Their comment in this thread is clearly AI-generated. The rest also show many of the tells. That's against the HN rules.

Have you had to deal with a microservices environment? Because there's significantly more operational and architectural complexity with a distributed system compared to a monolith. Now you have to deal with reliability, retries/ba

To answer a couple of questions that are likely to pop up: Is there an ATS integration? Not at the moment, but once value is proven, ATS integration is for sure the first natural step. In the meantime, adding this to an existing job listi

Here's a recent similar thread that got a lot of traction: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47654062 . I posted about my hobby of banknote collection on there, so won't repeat here.

Looks like the verification link above is not sufficiently open for testing, and the email address box was pushing people away - that's fair! Now you can use any @example.com email address and it will take you straight to the liveness

AI resume spam has absolutely ruined hiring. I've seen countless stories of hiring managers complaining about receiving thousands of resumes within an hour of opening up a new job listing. Likewise, good qualified candidates are gettin

The banked resets have been a game changer for me. I've been sticking to 5.4 medium mostly because 5.5 seemed to eat into my quota significantly faster. The reset bank gave me confidence to seriously start using 5.5 high. Lo and behold

I don't think we can conclusively say anything like that. Sure, a bunch of modern art is... odd, but that's more to do with the world generally being more ok with experimentation, and there's plenty of more classical work hap

You'd be taking on a founder's risk without a founder's title. If this was an offer to come in as a CTO co-founder in an equal, or close to it, partnership, that would be worth a consideration at least (though I'll be ho

Same experience calling a dental office recently. The voice on the other side introduced itself by name and had this uncanny valley quality where I wasn't quite 100% sure it was a bot and felt weird asking it outright. Made for an awkw

Yup, I remember getting the updates from Slashdot while Yahoo was completely unusable due to overwhelming traffic.

Absolutely. Yahoo started out as directories, long before it added a search engine. They were a much better way to discover new corners of the internet (sorta like looking at a list of subreddits today). Web rings was another one. Internet

Promotion culture at work, aka if I ship a feature and no one is using it, did I even drive measurable impact? Mix that with a healthy dose of fear for one's job with senior management pushing for "AI or bust" and you get the
