StackOverflow is nowadays famous for being the site that you only go after you’ve given up ChatGPT to stop hallucinating
If your first instinct is to ask chatGPT, no amount of reformation to “Job Sites” will affect you. At all.
And if your first instinct is to comment on a joke, in the first paragraph to pass judgement…?
- Yes.
- Didn’t read like a joke, you need an editor.
I completely agree.
(I want to try something different here. Instead of a fully fleshed out post, I’d like to just start with a draft of some ideas and I hope that it is enough to generate a conversation. I’ll take the relevant responses and use them to keep improving this article)
But if you were so eager to give feedback, perhaps you could’ve started with something more productive than yet-another smutty comment that serves only to make you feel better than the plebs who use and get any value out of ChatGPT?
Bud, do you know what “smutty” means?
I’m not an editor, I’m not your editor, and I don’t give shit away for free. A disclaimer doesn’t absolve you from what comes after, it just prepares your audience for the beating you’re about to take in the comments.
I agree for the most part. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic for the 00s, but I appreciated the model where job seekers have freeish access to apply for jobs and hirers had to pay a nominal fee to post jobs.
I worked at mostly small software companies, so we would always use the cheapest options. Even at our scale (where we were transparent about not paying that much), there were so. many. terrible applicants. Exaggerated or make up skills and experience. Clearly don’t read any of the job description. It took a lot of time to sift though them. I can only imagine what the volume of shit applicants was at large companies hiring lots positions.
I get why they resorted to buying all this AI fuckery to try to more aggressively filter resumes. I get why it got shittier for honest job seekers. But it’s a shitty arms race I don’t want to be in. It must be awful for juniors with no experience and no network to try to find a first job now. It was bad enough 20 years ago.
