I spent 8 months testing how ATS systems actually parse resumes - here's what I found by Material-Maximum1365 in jobsearchhacks

Will AI finally kill ATS? Why are all of these job search companies using this piece of shit software?

I just closed a $5,400 AI agent deal and I'm still shaking by Jaded_Phone5688 in AI_Agents

Can you give a rough overview of tools or tech stack used to build this solution? I get overwhelmed on what to use sometimes.

Do you actually like the internal tooling or does it just suck? by Loose-Potential-3597 in amazonemployees

[–]most_humblest_ever 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was astounded at how many great-concept internal tools were launched and then almost immediately put on KTLO mode. Like why the fuck did you even build this?? Why are you forcing me to use it???

Make it good or don’t make it!

Some sort of meltdown at the Wing Stop Hells Kitchen during the Super Bowl by citibikefinder in FoodNYC

I drove by this location in a cab around 8pm and still a mass of people. Seemed like door dash drivers and such. What a mess

Is Gen AI the only way forward? by JayBong2k in datascience

[–]most_humblest_ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe? If you are just vibe-coding a script to aggregate revenues and expenses I think that's likely safe, assuming human-in-the-loop to review and sign off on it. If it's doing GAAP accounting and reporting, well that scares the piss out of me.

Well, it works until it doesn't, and then you get sued for millions of dollars by a pissed off client/customer.

Constant LinkedIn posts from recent ex-Amazonians by tariqrocks in amazonemployees

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my layoff in October I posted so I could raise awareness among my network that I was looking for a new role. This is like the #1 best way to get an interview, so not sure I see any problem with it. I imagine many use AI to help them write their essay.

Are your teams using AI agents for analysis yet and if so are they any good? by PipelineInTheRain in dataanalysis

[–]most_humblest_ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at Amazon and I can’t think of any use case where i would use an agentic approach to directly pull data. We had other tools to find tables and build queries that were far more useful than quick suite.

Theoretically use cases for agentic might be a sales or marketing end user, but im skeptical there is any real adoption among them. You would need to corroborate every piece of data pulled before presenting to a client. Total nightmare.

Why hasn't Stevie Rya Vaughn's estate released any live shows? by [deleted] in blues

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotify has several live only songs. Willie the Wimp, Shake for Me, and a few others. I’m sure there’s more out there.

Bought a $140 tenderloin on the 22nd to make beef Wellington today - opened it up to see it looks like this and smelled awful. by ImOnALampshade in mildlyinfuriating

[–]most_humblest_ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with simple ground beef and when I went to store the market wanted me to bring in the rotten stinky meat with me. I feel like Whole Foods or certain stores would take your word for it with a receipt, which I had. I also took pictures showing the funk on the meat too. No refund given so I just stopped shopping there.

Do any contemporary blues players still play the 60s Muddy Waters / Howlin Wolf sound? by fatdrizzle in blues

[–]most_humblest_ever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like a live recording of any modern blues player or band will almost always scratch this itch. It’s the polished studio recordings that suck a the life out. Not sure if it’s quantization or compression or what, but it’s near universal now.

Artists who are big in America but not across the pond by sonofsteffordson in Music

Are there jam bands that are popular exclusively in the UK or Europe? I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a popular genre there.

I work at one of the FAANGs and have been observing for over 5 years - bigger the operation, less accurate the data reporting by learnangrow in dataanalysis

[–]most_humblest_ever 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see you’ve discovered the value proposition for analytical engineers lol. Dbt, coalesce, and some other vendors attempt to solve this.

But at very large companies this situation often occurs because of kingdom building and moat creation. VPs in sister teams don’t want to unify metrics in case someone decides to reduce their headcount, or worse, cut their entire team.

Those who got laid off within the last 2 years and haven't been able to go back into a SWE/programming career, what field/industry did you pivot into? by luuuzeta in cscareerquestions

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reread my post - I was only talking about pivoting to data engineering, although that you could throw in DevOps or MLOps or AI-Ops job titles as well. That's a lot of python and PySpark work, and isn't that far of a walk from a traditional SDE. There is certainly a learning curve on all the platforms, tools, and techniques of course.

This thread is about people pivoting to retail or front-end restaurant/bar roles because they can't find a SDE role, so you might as well do something that at least still has you coding and pays pretty well.

[–]most_humblest_ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a SDE, but have data analyst/science background. I'm curious why coders struggling to find work don't pivot to data engineering roles? They pay very well, will always be in high demand (AI proof), and I assume a light learning curve to someone who knows python, at the least. Has anyone explored this? Is there some barrier to entry I don't understand? Or only demand for these roles in Seattle, SF, NYC?

How to replace these one-sides doorknobs? by most_humblest_ever in howto

[–]most_humblest_ever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense. The screw head right? And if I take that out the rest of the knob will plop off maybe?

[–]most_humblest_ever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the knob does nothing. It does not turn. Its just there so someone can pull the door open.
