<p>I heard that recruiters also use amount of connections to filter out candidates, and they probably view it as if you don't have 500-1000 connection probably you just don't fit basic requirements of the the role even with 10+ yoe.<p>Even is so stupid but looks like in last few years lot of strange metrics like that used more and more.</p>

<p>I recently had opposite experience - I been using NixOS with X11+i3 for about 2 years and never had any significant issues beside some troubles with one Nvidia driver version, even most Steam games worked for me without any issues. But out of curiosity decided to give try Wayland+Sway. First Sway remind me that Nvidia GPU completely unsupported and probably wont work at all, but in really fix for that just to use some 'unsupported' flag to launch it. After that I found that displays fractional scaling only can multiply original resolution to bigger size so is no way I will able to set up my 3 different displays in way I would like. Then I found that Zoom app can't share display even if everything for that is provided and it thinks that sharing actually happen (it can share if used thought web-browser and it also some workaround with virtual camera thought kernel module and OBS). After that I found that Barrier app (that I been used to share cursor/keyboard between desktop&laptop) while has support for wayland it can't work with Sway yet and is no any real alternative.<p>For now I can deal with that stuff but it looks like more I use wayland more issues I see so not sure that I will able stick with it long term.<p>oh now I also has flickers with discord app</p>

<p>> friends watched or a game they played is a perk that has real value<p>in most cases it don't unless this game become really legendary which often not the case. So young person easily can spent 10y in attempt to do that but as result non of those games will be remembered in 2y after release.</p>

<p>right and it's also additional hidden kind of exploitation happen with that. That artistic passion coming from desire to do better "art" and grow as "artist" (what ever creative field person is chasing) and also to connect with peoples of similar goals.<p>But in reality that environment helping only to grow in technical aspects of the job ( maybe also learning some market forces) but it leads to severe degradation in artistic practice of which person original desire cultivate even not realizing that just because is no business need for anything like that. Bus sines can be fine by just coping that everyone else doing or implementing some one else vision.</p>

<p>unlikely, FOSS is mostly driven by zero-cost maintenance but AI tools needs money to burn. So only few FOSS project will receive sponsored tools and some definitely reject to use by ideological reasons (for example it could be considered as poison pill from copyright perspective).</p>

<p>>With AWS the knowledge is at least transferable<p>unfortunately it lot of things in AWS that also could be messed up so it might be really hard to research what is going on. For example, you could have hundreds of Lambdas running without any idea where original sources and how they connected to each-other, or complex VPCs network routing where some rules and security groups shared randomly between services so if you do small change it could lead to completely difference service to degrade (like you were hired to help with service X but after you changes some service Y went down and you even not aware that it existed)</p>

<p>maybe some combination of visual representation with text. For example it's not easy to come up intuitive with names of operations which could be applied to some surface. But if you could say something like 'select top side of cylinder' and it will show you some possible names of operations (with illustrations/animations) which could be applied to it then it's easy to say back what it need to do without actually knowing what actually possible. So as result it maybe just much quicker way to interact with CAD that we are using currently.</p>

<p>>You need to follow up with a set of strict requirements to set expectations, guard rails, and what the final product should do (and not do).<p>that usually very hard to do part, and is was possible to spent few days on something like that in real word before LLMs. But with LLMs is worse because is not enough to have those requirements, some of those won't work for random reasons and is no any 'rules' that can grantee results. It always like 'try that' and 'probably this will work'.<p>Just recently I was struggled with same prompt produced different result between API calls before I realized that just usage of few more '\"' and few spaces in prompt leaded model to completely different route of logic which produced opposite answers.</p>

<p>it looks like some kind marketing push or 'growth hack', just to get some viral thing around which justify why do you extra reason to pay for Claude or Tailscale subscription.<p>I personally not even convinced that Claude Code any better on average than something like Aider+Gemini 3 or other good model. May be in some specific cases it actually better but in those Aider+'Antropic Model via API' most likely will work too.</p>

<p>is one of the issues of modern web as it's optimized for quick most efficient reading, but something like this website is more optimized for slow thoughtful experience. Like some of the books about art history where you not only trying to get extract meaning of words but trying imagine how that time felt and try look on things from different perspective or different values.</p>

<p>From what I heard, even if a person is an EU citizen and does not have dual citizenship but was born in some ex-USSR/CIS countries. For example, if they migrated with their parents at the age of 1y, they will always be considered a higher-risk client by EU banks and will always be under some suspicion. So if that true is not possible to stop being related at least fully.</p>
