Many people are using AI auto apply tools these days. In comparison, applying to 36 jobs is nothing. I'd encourage him to apply to many more roles. Even though it's not ideal, that's the state of job applications today. We're working on improving the hiring process at levels.fyi. If you're a recruiter / hiring manager get in touch (email in profile)

Saw this device going around on X that has a mic / speaker so you can just dictate things: https://zectrix.com/en/

Ordered one but haven't tried it out yet. Sharing in case other folks are looking at devices.

Has anyone used Cloudflare's enterprise bot packages and have first hand experience with AWS's equivalent offering? Would love to chat.

Is it worth using these models if I have a claude code subscription already? The appeal of lower cost is nice but I haven't gotten over the switching cost yet.

Their text output often includes more emojis and seems formatted better. Also their image models subjectively looks better than the rest.

This fits with my impression of the 'personality' of various models:

Meta: Perceptive (strong vision)

Gemini: Fastest

Claude: Smartest

OpenAI: Prettiest

This is exactly why we built https://www.levels.fyi

Too often people were getting down-leveled because they didn't know any better. The level comparisons we show on the homepage compare scope and responsibilities. People frequently think levels are based on compensation but compensation is the byproduct of it.

We deploy currently on AWS so that's not changing. It's just the framework that needs to be changed :)

Appreciate it! We're still on nextjs. Will def put a blogpost together as we optimize / move away. Thankfully, AI makes large-scale mostly repetitive migrations like these much simpler.
