... in Github Actions? What a great way to discourage them from entering the industry.
This statement resonated with me. Thank you.
For now, until the frontier models decide to stop losing money and pass the real costs onto the consumers.

I frequently see this in remote interviews for senior developers. These are conversational interviews, not coding tests, but some candidates seem incapable of having a conversation without AI.
I can't imagine how these candidates would be able to meaningfully contribute to a whiteboard design discussion with real people.
For a previous client, we resorted to a simple in-person pen-and-paper screening questionnaire with 5 very basic questions. Many candidates declined to attend, and most of those that attended failed dismally.

I use Proton Authenticator now [0]
Authy used to do this, then they enshittified their app and bricked the desktop version.

Nope.
I'd have to disable notifications for this in my neighbourhood to avoid alert fatigue.
This is such a great way to summarise the issue facing rank-and-file employees. If your job is predictable, repeatable, systematizable then you're "competing against the price of electricity [and GPUs]"
Writing code was never the bottleneck at large enterprises.
We resorted to filtering candidates in-person with 5 basic technical questions on pen and paper. And I mean _really_ basic questions.
This was surprisingly effective because it filters for many non-technical skills like being able to read and write English, follow instructions, and show up to the office, on time, and appropriately dressed.
The number of candidates that failed these basic skills was astounding. We had candidates show up 20 minutes late, or email 2 minutes before the "interview" asking for a Teams link even though the invitation stated the meeting was in-person (highlighted in yellow). Others couldn't write their own name legibly on the paper.
A candidate that cannot answer basic technical questions has no hope of being able to prompt an AI effectively or review the code it produces.
Where are they getting all those free tokens from?!? I don't like this rhetoric. It still costs money to write code, only now that wealth gets transferred to Anthropic instead of to individual contributors.
This makes the page SO hard to read. Why are "designers" still doing this? Have they no respect for their readers?
It's tedious to have to hit DEL 6 or 7 times towards the end of the game. Maybe ESC could clear the whole word?
I've spent many hours explaining how idempotency is supposed to work, and why it's important. Most teams understand the need for it, but very few thought about it up front.
Many restaurants use pre-made components like sauces bought from restaurant wholesalers which explains a lot of the sameness across establishments.
Hollandaise from a bag? No thanks.

I remember having to split bar tabs at the end of the night before phones. No calculators. Drunk people trying to do math is a spectacle to behold. Everyone throwing random cash amounts in the centre of the table, taking their own change, and one person attempting to reconcile the total then asking for more contributions if we were short.
Electronic bill-splitting is superior in just about every way.
