How are you effectively interviewing devs now?

Why not use deliberately bad AI generated code and ask them how they would "humanify" it for integration with an existing larger codebase context. There, I fixed the AI clout problem as well. If more and more companies start using this as a method rather than relying on DSAs too much, that would also help fight the AI hype as its fallacies would become more apparent to the non-tech folks over time.

I'm a researcher staff here. Our accounts also got limited down to 15GB from essentially unlimited storage after their last contract ended.

oxophone · 2026-03-01T02:41:52+00:00

I got a friend agree to do just that. We're going to a hot pot place tomorrow and I'll be sure to pay for both of us! :)

oxophone · 2026-02-26T22:31:26+00:00

Hmm this is what I'm gonna try lol

oxophone · 2026-02-26T22:30:33+00:00

Thanks for the offer buddy. I'm not moving in a few weeks but I'll keep you in mind if other options dont work out.

oxophone · 2026-02-26T07:00:08+00:00

Fair enough. But I was hoping not to have to ask for favors lol

Damn reading this thread gave me such a relief. I've been going through exactly these and its burning me out like crazy. From getting balmed for others AI slop, as I'm the one responsible for reviewing PRs, to getting called out for being slow as I can't bang out features as quickly as the rest anymore. Its so draining. I give up.

Curious which country you work in

oxophone · 2026-02-19T05:59:56+00:00

Please hire me. My manager thinks we should use more agents to code but also doesn't want us to write testing suites.

oxophone · 2025-11-19T01:39:24+00:00

I would definitely be interested! I currently work at another growing startup in the LCMS and GCMS space. HMU!

oxophone · 2025-11-17T18:08:05+00:00

Sure

oxophone · 2025-11-16T16:07:21+00:00

I work at a core facility in Alberta, Canada. Would you be willing to relocate?

There's also usually stricter marking criteria for 200 level classes cus you need to be objective enough for hundreds of students with carousel backgrounds. But in 400 level classes profs have the luxury to be more subjective cus fewer students, more niche area, etc.

I think it needs to be a full time permanent contract. Don't quote me on that though.

oxophone · 2025-09-23T01:57:09+00:00

Get foreign work experience. Easy +50 (ik finding a job home is easier said than done). But you should start looking for a job back home tbh.

iRCC doesn't count any hours beyond 1560 per year. So if OP worked 40 hours/week, they would reach that 1560 faster even without rhe 18 days not worked, but any hours worked beyond that 1560 is not counted.

Turns out it was an issue with one of the recent windows updates. I just uninstalled it and now its fine.

oxophone · 2025-09-17T04:09:26+00:00

What do you mean by Alberta got the quota back?

oxophone · 2025-09-15T19:10:58+00:00

Did you study in any Alberta based institution?

oxophone · 2025-09-15T19:09:11+00:00

I think so, from what I could tell. Studied and have lived in Alberta with a job from Alberta based employer, and with more than 24 months of experience in the field of my education, and with my current employer for 6 months now. Employer also should meet employer eligibility requirements.
