@slopbowlcritic Really feels that way at the office cafeteria these days.

This is the future of slop bowls

@zapplebee codex wrote that tweet, I didn't review it either

@ryanmr I dont actually understand what you mean by this in this context.

since code is cheap with tokens and reviews are fast, maybe more data should just be static json in the source code now.

@mkobach There was a Kodak calendar that was proposed in a similar way.

The Gregorian calendar is broken. We should fix it: • 13 month year • 28 days each month • Every month starts on Monday • Every month ends on Sunday Add a new month between June and July called “Sol.” Add “Year Day” after Dec 28 where everyone has the day off. Then fix the holidays: New Year’s Day: January 1 MLK Day: Jan 15 Super Bowl Monday: February 8 Christmas: February 25–26 Easter Monday: April 8 Valentine’s Day: April 23 Memorial Day: May 22 Juneteenth: June 19 Independence Day: Sol 11–12 Labor Day: July 22 Halloween: October 26 Election Day: November 8 Thanksgiving: November 25–26 Year Day You’re welcome.

@leerob Could I ask you the inverse? What makes a good job description/req post?

How to make your engineering job application stand out (from the perspective of someone looking at hundreds of resumes): 1. Your resume should be one page. If you really need more space, link to a website. You don't need 10+ bullets for each job. 2. You will immediately stand out >90% of applications if you link a personal website that has some intentionality behind it. 3. If you are going to link your X, you might want to clean up your posts? Seems obvious but... people post some wild stuff. 4. You should link your GitHub. Please avoid doing a profile README that looks like a MySpace profile with the badges and images. I'm trying to look at code and your ability to build interesting ideas. 5. You should try to customize your application to the company. If you're applying to a startup, the courses you took in college probably don't matter as much. Maybe more if you're trying to make it through the ATS screening for FAANG. 6. I'm seeing a surprising number of resumes which don't talk about AI or agents at all. Software engineering is changing and it's a pretty fair assumption that you will be expected to learn or understand coding with AI for your job. That should be reflected on your resume and projects (and I'm not just saying this because I'm at Cursor). 7. Take your LinkedIn seriously. Most devs are here hanging out on X but surprisingly still most people will send around your LinkedIn internally. 8. Find ways to show your unique strengths/tastes/interests. It's nice to see people are smart, well-rounded, and thoughtful. Maybe this is a collection of books you enjoyed and why. Or some writing you've done. Or films you liked. At the end of the day, people want to work with other people they like and respect. If nothing else, it will be a good conversation starter ("oh I love [book] as well!"). 9. Do not use AI to write your cover letter or resume text. It's incredibly obvious, especially if you are applying to an AI company. You can still use it to ideate on ideas or phrases, but write it by hand (don't fall victim to the overused in-the-distribution-AI-phrases). See: /humanizer skill. 10. No photos on resumes. Save those for whatever you link out to. 11. Quality over quantity. 3 really good, thoughtful, detailed, interesting projects versus a wall of 27 AI-slop ones. Remember that hiring managers / recruiters are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for a role. They're not going to spend 20 minutes on every single application. You need to cut the cruft and get to the point. I hope this helps you stand out!

@pilcrowonpaper I'd go ascii only, seems easier for realistic support

Limiting passwords to ASCII characters - yes or no? At least in Japan, it's very likely that a password containing Japanese characters was done by mistake

@zoriya_dev I love this topic

After spending more than a year in draft, i finally finished my blog about phantom tokens.

@helloitsaustin @AnthropicAI Very cute.

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.

@amazing13_13 I had that happen once, I saw the other plane people at Costco a few days later

Why is this so real?

@levelsio I also want a whole home air exchanger, hoping that would help similarly

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

@redtachyon January was a wild time, seems like ancient history

It's insane that Moltbook was acquired by Meta, and then it just completely died and disappeared from the collective consciousness???

I don't have a Windows computer. If you run Claude on Windows does a singularity appear? What happens?

@Birdyword If there was a cafe with free wifi in the front, that would be fun

Many people do not seem to want data centres built near them, despite the fact that they don't cause that much traffic and often generate a lot of local tax revenue. I suspect it's partly because they're ugly! My proposal:

@cmgencojr I think that's when I opened my account!

@ryanmr Nearly 18 years… wild… your GitHub is graduating from high school

I was pretty early to GitHub as it turns out. ``` "id": 13507, "created_at": "2008-06-12T17:49:53Z", ```

@zoriya_dev Good to see you here again!

i still don't understand why everyone talks about goblin in ai and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

@Dexerto I loved that channel

Nintendo are taking down the 'PokeNational Geographic' YouTube channel after filing multiple copyright strikes against it The series showcased different Pokémon and their natural habitats in National Geographic-style shorts

@bengold @cursor_ai @googlechrome @figma They won't give me anything better than 16GB, I hit the memory limits regularly

I have 48gb of ram on my M5 Pro MacBook Pro, yet I’m still getting warnings about running out of memory on a daily basis. The biggest culprits are usually @cursor_ai @googlechrome or @figma…. Seriously, am I doing something wrong? Is there a setup that will prevent this?

We’re talking about Goblins. openai.com/index/where-th…
