here's a simple task. Collect all info from unstructured email signatures, 3 years of small business emails.

Opus directs and starts haiku/sonnet subagents. Much more efficient than opus reading it all.

Without this explicit direction, Opus burned through usage to create complicated regex parsers & 8 excel sheets.

which year are they from?

distribution. MacBooks are everywhere and already used by devs

taught mental math (abacus) to 3-15yr olds for 10+ yrs. A great teacher notices the gaps in the fundamentals and fixes those along with variants before piling on.

ello looks great, great work

a single leetcode tab is taking up up to 700mb of memory...

just the level of questions being asked seems to be high idk, just passed round 1 for big tech. Not feeling great about the rest.

main comment was a bit tongue in cheek

See, leetcode is useful. As I do this leetcode grind, I’ve been why techniques exist / how they’re used irl. Lots of interesting stuff there

yeah. Was always the jr on a team full of seniors/staff. Always switching context, so many verticals and systems.

True startups need only senior+ and big ones don't wanna interview often.

as I got into SWE 4 yrs ago, this was a big part of my job as a SRE/SDET and my next job came b/c of that SRE exp which was never used, so just became an SDET.

Now am laid off, and hard to find a job...

5yrs ago, pre LLMs, I made a very simple version of this, create good playlists from a user query. Got me my first programming (& favourite) job at a music AI company to lead QA Automation, found a lot of bugs.

Only had basic python knowledge going in (new grad mech engineer on pumps/pipes). built on flask / python / heroic / GitHub.

Small team, some awesome people. Changed my life. for now, back to being laid off.

I'm an early-mid career SDET/SRE. Currently building a full web app with rest AP integrations, looks great and works great. Lots of functionality, useful and being hardened all b/c of AI. It's going to be live with customers soon I hope.

AI is not a feature of the product. GTM will be interesting, have some good ideas.

It's really up to you to be clever. I've never used Js/Ts/node/these apis etc. I started programming as a non-cs engineer to automate stuff and then got into SWE. This is truly an amazing time.

What’s the hate on Microsoft?

also starting in a blue-collar field soon as an operator-ish in a facility management company. I've already lined up an awesome new SaaS in the main industry. Pest control will be one of the verticals the company has customers fo so I will be keeping an eye for it, was thinking of just starting a pest control business it self.

Does your software do anything fancy or is mostly for organization, good workflow, and being the central source of truth?

Did it require a lot of development after getting a few customers on boarded?

are you a 1 man show?
