> The only German course that actually produces speakers.

Hahaha, You better add a source to that. Without being am established household name like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, that sounds like a scam.

I mean litteraly, with all the AI podcasts out there just get it to do it. It was going to take all our jobs anyways or something.

> once they unlock one capability,

What does it mean to unlock? Its an llm nothing is locked. The output is a as good as the context, model and environment. Nothing is hidden or locked.

Edit: Why downvote? debate me. Its so childish to suppress comments you do not agree with.

Sure consumer goods are cheaper, but I don't need more "stuff". The essentials I need for my family: food, energy, housing, and most importantly time are much less accessible. Sure, we could buy bulk, move to a LCOL area and work remote, but not everyone can do that.

This is the trend that a lot of people in my generation complain about.

This is really rat race to the bottom. Obviously it goes without saying that people passionate about a project get preference, but if you are trying to wind yourself up to be "passionate" your winding yourself up to accept less for more work.

> Do not ask employees for a referral!

This amount of times I get asked for blind referrals is insane. Maybe it is a non-western thing, but I nor anyone else I know does this or accepts these requests. It only kills an application, since it looks deceitful, an applicant should stand on their own.

> If the company is <30 people, reach out to the CEO directly.

There is already a lot of spam filtering through their inbox, this is white noise. This maaaay only work if you know them on other channels and they are "cool".

> Again, send more than one email.

lol

CS is oversaturated right now for many reasons. Regardless, mass applications do not work unless you are cheating, targeted applications do not work unless everyone else does the same. The best bet is internal networks, or searching for work in unexpected locations, e.g. webmaster at the local pulp mill.

Not to think to highly of ourselves, I for one am a genuine idiot, but the crowed here likely has more influence than a lot of other online forums. Making it a worthwhile target, especially on the AI front. Plus the site is an easy to integrate into a bots with the minimal website and all.

If you want to look at the bright side, this design guide will be easier to spot SAAS, slop as a service.

The lossy aspect mentioned in the article just sounds like you forgot to write comments or a README. simple fix

So we are just irrational and sour?

Some people are of course, but how many?

> ... People are willing to pay $200 per month

This is just low-key hype. Careful with your portfolio...

I've never really felt the existing options were lacking for our use case. Completely fair game if this was just a passion project, but at this point at best this feels like noise, at worst some overzealous developer is going to implement this in my teams pipeline and waste time. Waste his time because the existing type checker did the job and there was not reason to change it, and waste our time because they will likely change (probably tighten) the existing behavior and waste our time while we adapt our habits to it.
