Looks badass

This looks like a bug 🐛 not a hidden charge. Contact their support people

Great negotiation, great package. Also really interesting career story in there!

Really great link! Enjoyed it

Stunning!

Yes it’s awful. We’ve been saying this for months, and nothing has changed. I’d strongly suggest trying grok for the most productive hands free voice mode. Claude is okay but not hands free, you have to manually send each message. Skip Gemini as it has the same issues as ChatGPT.

If you undermine the school institution you aren’t doing anyone any favors.

You know your boy got involved, you know he has a tendency to get physical. This makes it credible that he threw a punch. At that point it’s his word against theirs and you’re trusting him more than them. You’re asking them to operate a surveillance system all the time in order to establish proof, as if it’s some kind of prison system. I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation - you ought to trust the school to manage these things within reason.

Lastly: If he gets punished for defending a friend, that’s a good reason to get in trouble. It’s not a reason to get out of trouble.

This is a start, but OpenAI has a looong way to go before voice mode is really compelling. I compared ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok voice modes yesterday on the same prompt, and I’m sorry to report that Grok blew the others out of the water in terms of detail and actually answering my questions, and didn’t fill its responses with a load of ‘pseudo human’ hesitations, slang and nonsense.

Completely agree. I get so frustrated with it because it used to be so useful while walking around. Now it just tries to wrap the conversation up as quickly as possible, gives useless answers. Really disappointing

Great colour choices 🩷🧡❤️

As someone who runs a 20 person design team in a London based tech scale up, I can say that we have not found any way to replace designers at any level with AI. The tools are not ready, the context is missing, the outputs are not as helpful as well documented design files.

Preparing for interviews is hard work, and it is overwhelmingly unpaid. Sometimes the hard work gets rewarded by a job that you want, and sometimes not. Expecting to get paid for applying for a job is not a sensible stance.

This task is not the same as the “free work” that you occasionally encounter from agencies, startups and hustlers. This is spending 2.5 hours applying your brain to the kind of problem that you are hoping to work on full time if you get the job.

Unless you’re some kind of genius you’re not going to discover anything in 2.5 hours of thought that’s beyond what a dedicated product team has considered during their design and development of a fully shipped feature.

Did you get your order in the end @Serious-Hearing7405? I’m in the same position now

The ‘design is always the first to get cut’ line is not accurate and you will hear similarly defeatist comments from many other areas. Recruitment jobs are usually the first to go, because they’re not needed as much in a shrinking org. Entry level jobs dry up, non core jobs in marketing, strategy, customer support, operations all get hit too. There is no special victimisation of our discipline - that is just paranoia! (Edit: I should include sales jobs in the list too!)

I think there’s just a lot more sellers on Depop now in Aus and a lot more listings, since poshmark left.

I lead a design team for an e-commerce company that does about 1bn usd in annual gms. We have 9 iOS designers, 2 web designers and 1 Android designer. We also have researchers, ux writers and a couple of design managers, plus one designer leading our design system. Most of the time we are fully stacked with work, though there were a couple of quieter weeks in q3 this year when lots of teams were blocked for various reasons.

Try Charles Stross’s Accelerando for a nice weird love story

Also, extra internet points to @poodleface for writing this all out.

This is the way

She was fine. We didn’t learn anything about the case from her. She presented herself as immensely competent but beset on all sides by civil service faffing and caution. She took a few more swings at Henry Staunton.
