I'm not sure if just me "https://response.ee/" takes a very long time to load.

In my opinion the key thing is find an employer/interviewer that emphasis more on high level things than specific stack, you're mid-senior, I think it would be natural for you to discuss architecture, design, manage tech debts, communication, people business, these kinds of things during interview. Depending on the market but I think (or I hope) it wound't be hard to find these sensible interviewers in the market.

Second is practice, if you were to switch your stack, then a bit practice IMHO is still needed, build something, and keep an eye on how the common things handled in this different stack, say in web dev, global exception handling, routing, authn and authz, etc. Once you've mastered these you should feel confident talk about these during interview.

I've read multiple times that there've been discussions in a few places around the world to ban cats, or certain breeding of cats to save wildlife, or birds specifically. But I haven't heard any law become real, anyone?

I can't agree more.

> Focus: There is real value in having people at your company whose focus is on the quality of your end product. Quality might be “everybody’s job”…but it should also be “somebody’s job”. Yes indeed, naturally every person have just one focus, having dedicated person focus on QA is important.

Another practice, or buzz word (or used to be buzz word:) ), Exploratory Testing, which can pretty much be conducted only by dedicated QA.

Nice write-up! The nuances between browsers can be annoying yes, if I remember correctly the spellcheck behaviour for contenteditable div are also different between FF and Chromium-based.

From one point I think it's fair for Uni emphasise on CS over SE because there's "truth" inherent in CS, but for SE, which deals with building software in real life, is more complicated because real-life is complicated.

Even for the QA advice in the post "writing tests as you write the software" one can argue it's infeasible/inappropriate for my type of project and/or with the people who work on this project.

So my two cents on this is let Uni teach the students *to be aware of* all the SE principles and best practices this industry now have, like the tools in your toolbox, also let us know that whether to use them in real-life projects, need assessment of situation, cost/value balance, people etc, afterall not everybody works on dream projects.

Some countries offer Digital Nomad Visa which is very beneficial for people in software professions and remote-able jobs.

Ha! Combining LLM with Occultism! Not just Astrology, but Tarot, Yin-Yang, Divination, Spiritual Practices. I see this a perfect fit as non-deterministic nature of LLM :)

(I've checked Wikipedia) Information Retrieval seems to be a generic term, or does it mean something more specific or dedicated, like Language Model is not model of languages?

We can kick off this new calendar and gradually migrated over :), some cultures around the world already use multiple calendars, their traditional ones (Lunar calendar, Indian calendar etc) and Gregorian Calendar.

I am also thinking once we've gone multiplanetary (going to Mars), we might need a new calendar system.

We used to have another engineer watch over your shoulder when you do Prod stuff, can be very helpful.

This is cool and very useful!

It's a bit slow but understandable, so you'd permutate the input domain and then query DNS? Feels resource heavy, any caching mechanism in place? IMHO it'd be good to add some intro/info on the homepage.

It's nice this article includes a survey of background research!

> Go paragraph-by-paragraph

The author didn't say will previous tuned paragraphs be fed into Claud to generate following paragraph?

> balancing ideas with personal experiences results in engaging content. Adding personal experiences into an essay also disguises the AI-written material.

Now the problem is, Does AI-generated personal experience count as personal experience :) ?

This is a brilliant idea! I see you're also building a platform for people to share.

At first glance it looks I can only upload an image or feed text. Is there a way to make the input more flexible, at lease both image and text?
