this makes sense, in 2018-2022, I would get tons of emails from recruiters at meta, doordash, snap, stripe etc now I barely see any (maybe they've given up )
My friends who are still at Google also say that most job postings will end up going to someone internally - in fact people say they don't do that many external interviews anymore.
Finally the interview cycle seems to take a lot longer than I remember with quite a few added rounds.

the sponsored results looks like you are in an ads experiment since this really isn't how it typically displays

Everytime I see the word delve in an article I can't help but assume it was written by an LLM which this probably was?

For coding it is still 10x worse than gpt4. I asked it to write a simple database sync function and it gives me tons of pseudocode like `//sync object with best practices`. When I ask it to give me real code it forgets tons of key aspects.

In case this is useful - I had end stage arthritis in one of my ankles and ended up getting a bipolar ankle allograft in San Diego at Scripps. I barely think about it nowadays except that sometimes after a long hike or strenuous workout it will feel a bit stuff. Considering I could barely walk before it was a night and day difference.
You essentially get a completely new joint surface from a donor and have to be in crutches for 3 months but it was 100% worth it for me. I refused to do fusion and avoided any doctor that said nothing could be done.

Another solution for end stage ankle arthritis is distraction surgery but I didn't look into it much but it could be useful too: https://www.hss.edu/conditions_ankle-distraction-arthroplast...

America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer who was pretty sure America was a separate continent - pretty random !

I can confirm. Just moved from Zurich to San Francisco. Pretty much everything except rent is cheaper in San Francisco (food can be up to half price of what I paid in Zurich) but rent being such a major expense, it ends up being similar. Salaries are a bit higher in Switzerland though so one would save more on average there.

Only some cantons require voting on citizenship, the others have a more formal process.
