I was reading through this job description because I'm super hyped for what PgDog is doing (not because I am looking for a new job): https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/pgdog/jobs/uWymUYy-founding-software-engineer.
The thing that stood out was that part of the interview is working with the team on a contract basis for a few days. I hope that things like this get more traction. This seems like a really good way to see if the candidate and company fit well together. And at least the candidate made some cash along the way.
@hbons @cassidy I think plus adding the blur in shell might work out reasonable in terms of clutter. Being able to dim the background and blur will make it stand out.
@cassidy @FineFindus I was kind of thinking the same thing. But I don't think the change will change my life much - whether I see the underlying desktop or not. One pro with the old method is that with all that grey I'm pretty focused on those results! :D
The other hilarious thing, is I never noticed it took over the whole screen. I think it's because that screen is not active more than 3-4 seconds because I usually find what I want in the search bar and then hit enter.
@jti42 @gnome This was something JustPerfection and I talked about. I urged him to setup a claude.md or agents.md and put all those in there so that it would teach LLMs to do it the right way.
If you leave the field, you don't have control. So better to learn in and use the tools that we have to at least reduce slop by showing what to do.
⚠️ Spammers from a site called SocialDB.xyz seem to be flooding Mastodon members with emails claiming to offer sponsorship opportunities (which is dubious to say the least).
It's probably best to just ignore these emails, report them as spam and do not click on any of their links.
They seem to be getting email addresses from websites mentioned in Mastodon profiles, if the site has a public email address. The spam assumes the linked site belongs to the account owner.
