@GoemonIshikawa @yo they laid me off on maternity leave after I invented them an edge caching patent.
We got pushed onto all the products, not just ours (I was on facebook in 2007 to make the module). A friend said they were pushed to use github (for their own projects too) and locked out of their work when laid off.
I onboarded as a candidate to a ycombinator ai hiring thing (ineptly) using LI (and apparently me for free testing).
It’s BAD.

@GoemonIshikawa @yo Anyone staying (I won’t, I started blocking people there this week for dumb saas pitches) should think of it as a dataset used to validate their resume. Keep it simple and clear.
“Over 20 years” treated as dishonest if it was 30. Unable to tie me to companies in other countries I CTO for. Unable to believe I’m not a yoga instructor realtor.
(Why thank you. I have jelly belly from 4 babies and am AirBnB homeless…again. Shhh.)

Lots of AI slop and lots of smarmy SaaS pitches for vibe-coded slop.
I don’t know anyone hired off a posting there in a decade. My last job came from Indeed. Companies post jobs they will never fill to look like they are growing to investors.
It’s a waste of our time to get our data and feels like weird unemployment social media.
20 year old endorsements be damned. I’ve convinced myself. An OCID links me to my work just fine. 🙃
