I object to the notion that having "american born engineers" is the cause of their issues.

Welding is coming along. Ever heard of Path Robotics? That's high-mix, high-complexity welds. (There are a lot of other, less-sophisticated welding robots out there.) The biggest moat for a welder right now is special certifications to be able to do welds on submarines, etc.

I tried to build this back around 2020. I think my concept was trying to be too cute in several places. But this was the basic idea.

I found that neither side of the market wanted to rethink the market, they just wanted something that worked well for them. Even today, job seekers may be reaching for something like this but employers have no interest; there is a glut in the market.

I’m sure I never quite got the messaging correct. However, I distinctly recall that triplebyte attempted a pivot in this same vein and also failed bad.

They are shutting down the product. I haven't received the sunsetting guide. What are people moving to instead?

These prompts read a lot like wizards’ spells!

Can you provide some examples?

If medicare increases payouts then the payoff to this sort of behavior only increases.

Are there any comparisons of weather apps by area? For example, "for the San Francisco bay area, apple weather is most accurate on rain. But for NYC accuweather is better." I suppose you ought to be comparing weather APIs rather than apps but it would be most usable if you just knew which app to download.

I wouldn't worry about automated ATS. Their use is way overstated on LinkedIn, by "resume experts," etc.

I'm talking about whether a human can read the document comfortably.

I would be careful with LaTeX. I use to have a LaTeX resume generated with LuaTeX. At an old company, I saw my LaTeX resume in the ATS long after I was hired. Apparently, something happened and the PDF displayed as blurred-but-not-unreadable in the ATS. Maybe the ATS did some post-processing or used a limited PDF display engine? Lucky for me, the resume for that job was just a formality. These days, I just use Google Docs and export to PDF.

I would have liked to see them focus on less well-known companies. It seems quite possible that the reference human responses (from exponent) were already present in the training data.

It is definitely harder to grow this muscle when you are remote. Be biased towards hopping on a call/zoom rather than messaging on slack, etc.

I would be interested to hear more about how much they were discussing their failures/challenges with others. It sounds like this might be a case of, "I finally talked to someone about it and they unblocked me in an hour."

When I was in grad school I was very hesitant to ask others for help or feedback. Big mistake! I see similar things with interns: they'll wait until a daily or weekly check-in to raise problems.

My approach now is to set a time budget; if I don't figure it out myself within X hours, then I have to ask someone for help.
