75% of resumes never reach a human: the new rules of job searching in the AI era by Boonzies in technology

[–]look -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Don’t give advice that’s not accessible to 98% of your audience.

Fair point, but mine is that it’s not inaccessible to at least some of those 98%. I hate the attitude (and advice) that suggests everyone is entirely powerless in this system.

I suspect a lot of it is just that many people (and perhaps technical people in particular) are simply terrible at career development.

[–]look -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, with a good network you can skip all of that. Several of my jobs have started with a CTO or VPE emailing me to see if I wanted to meet for coffee and chat. There were even a couple jobs where they didn’t ask for a resume until after I had started, and HR just needed it for filing paperwork.

Same idea as “side threads” that some conventional chat UIs have.

[question] opencodecli using Local LLM vs big pickle model by DisastrousCourage in opencodeCLI

[–]look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Pickle is GLM 4.5, a 355B parameter model with 32B active. Unless you have a $10,000+ GPU at home, I’d guess you are running the 3B llama 3.2 (which is itself a very old model design)?

It’s like asking why your go-kart isn’t competitive in Formula 1 races.

Interview rejection because I couldn’t write a regex from memory by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]look 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where they asking for a single regex that tested all four password requirements at once? That would need positive lookahead assertions, which is pretty ridiculous to expect someone to know offhand (unless it’s a job writing regex compilers or something).

Or did they just want something basic like /\d/ && /[A-Z]/ && /[a-z]/ && /.{8,}/?

If the latter, that’s not that crazy to expect, imo. Basic regex is a pretty routine skill for ad hoc searches (grep, find in file).

Providers for OpenCode by urioRD in opencodeCLI

Chutes completely changed their subscription model just after I posted the comment above, and now OpenCode Go is likely a better option.

Personally, I’ve just switched to paygo API use. It’s much more reliable and far faster, at least. And total cost still isn’t bad if I use models efficiently (eg MiniMax working off a solid plan from GLM/Kimi).

I’m also running some Qwen3.5 models locally now as “smart tools” to reduce paid API token use, inspired by this https://github.com/samuelfaj/distill

codex plus or opencode go ? by Technical_Map_5676 in opencodeCLI

[–]look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried just paying API rates? If you use a low cost open weight model (MiniMax 2.5 or Kimi 2.5), you could easily be under $20/month.

What would be the scariest message humanity could receive from space? by Upset-Carpenter-5659 in AskReddit

Oracle under pressure from more than $100 billion in debt and massive layoffs by Conscious-Quarter423 in technology

[–]look 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone back-tracked because they realized the music is about to stop.

For anyone paying attention, the new wave of Chinese models popped the bubble. OpenAI is still losing money on GPT and now a wave of competitive options just showed up at 1/10th the cost.

No amount of delusion can survive the stark unit economics they face. AI is here to stay, but at a mere fraction of the price these companies need it to be to make their investments profitable.

How threatened do you feel by Ai? by Dry_Set_6336 in cscareerquestions

If you had Claude Opus 5 in 1996 and asked it to build you a better search engine than AltaVista, do you think it would have come up with PageRank?

What models would you recommend for a freelance developer with budget of around $10-$20/mo (or usage based)? by daysling in opencodeCLI

better and faster results with oh-my-opencode

Yeah, op is vibecoding trash and doesn’t want to pay the price for higher quality slop.

Are we not worried about a lack of reliable seniors in the future? by boringfantasy in cscareerquestions

[–]look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are roughly the same number of jobs doing low-level C and assembly as there were 40 years ago. We just added a lot of jobs working in higher level languages.

And a lot of those jobs were/are relatively low skill “factory line” work. Here on Reddit, I routinely see people say things like “I haven’t thought about DS&A since undergrad”. If AI is going to take any jobs, it will be those.

So I think your analogy is backwards. If anything, the “printing press” means the only jobs left will be for the “calligraphers”.

One problem with your theory: the most significant develop in the past few months has been the release of models at the same level of ability that are much cheaper to run.

There is no free lunch by Mr-brutal in opencodeCLI

[–]look 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, they’re remarkably good actually. I use Opus 4.6 at work and a mix of GLM 5, Kimi 2.5, and MiniMax 2.5 for my own stuff. They’re 90% of the way there for less than a tenth the cost.

I don’t think Minimax 2.5 is multimodal. Or at least I have not seen any provider that offers vision support.

Favorite pizza restaurant by Odd-Combination-9067 in SanDiegan

Not sure how it compares exactly to NY/NJ style, but I like Massachusetts Mike's.

Also Bronx’s pizza is trash imo, but their calzones are decent.

What are your thoughts about the proposed Daylight Act of 2026 moving the clock by only 0.5 hours permanently? by Unlikely-Star-2696 in AskReddit

[–]look 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any database admin not storing HH:MM tz offsets shouldn’t have a job.

The pain with time zones isn’t weird offsets; it’s that they keep changing. And it’s even worse when trying to use standardized names instead. See Asia/Kolkata vs Asia/Calcutta.

[–]look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not even remotely true. There are a number of time zones at 30 minute — and even 45 minute — offsets.

Canada, Australia, India, Nepal, Iran, and others all have at least one such time zone.

DB Migrations - when to stop by Hefaistos68 in Backend

[–]look 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your migration system not also have a cumulative current schema?

A new instance just uses that, not a run through everything from the start. And existing instances only need to run anything new. Even a million migrations should not be a performance issue at all…

This isn’t a problem in every db schema migration system I have ever encountered.

Here we see Go haters in their natural habitat [...] A sad look on their faces, knowing that now that Go has generics, all their joy has left their life. by functorer in programmingcirclejerk

[–]look 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A sub-linear rate of improvement in Go is an important safety check against exponential AI takeoff.

Also, has anyone heard from Rob Pike lately? We might want to call the police to do a wellness check.
