New comment by lokicik in "A zero dependency deterministic placeholder text generator in TypeScript"

lokicik — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 22:17:40 +0000

I built a small utility library for generating placeholder text from custom corpora. It has no dependencies, works in both Node and the browser, and supports deterministic output through seeding, which is useful for tests and reproducible fixtures.

GitHub: https://github.com/lokicik/placetext

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/placetext

Main features:

• zero dependencies

• corpus based text generation (multiple built in corpora)

• deterministic mode for consistent test output

• TypeScript implementation

• ESM and CommonJS builds

• small footprint

Happy to answer questions or hear suggestions.

How will the llm-driven systems coordinate with RimWorld’s existing AI and job scheduler without causing performance issues? won’t the AI system you’re planning to implement end up being too slow?

New comment by lokicik in "Professional Job Seeker might be my only full-time role ever"

lokicik — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 00:09:45 +0000

I’ve been looking for a job in tech for a while. the process feels broken.

- 50 interviews, 1000+ applications → 4 response -> 0 offers (just pure ghosting, even for unpaid work).

- multiple companies asking for “10+ years” in tools that are 5 years old.

- one role asking for frontend, backend, fullstack, and devops basically 4 engineers in a trench coat.

it feels like the system optimizes for keywords, not skills. sometimes i wonder if job posts exist just to harvest free take-home projects or bug bounties. (yes, that happened.)

curious: how are others navigating this market? does ghosting ever end, or is this just the new normal?

I love when people enjoy the things I build. The other day I made a realtime Kahoot-style game, 25 of us played together and it was so much fun. I dream of creating moments like that for millions and I’m especially excited about system design, making things scale and stay reliable at that level. I can quickly learn and adapt to any technology if it helps me build better experiences.

Does this mean that the next gpt model could be online, like Gemini?
