simionstefanesc··on I'm looking for a remote role and getting ignoed by my connections
That is only a numbers game man. You need to reach out to every recuiter and apply to any job posting tou can find, only way you can fast forward this process.
simionstefanesc··on Show HN: I used Jev to build an off-topic detector for meetings
And how do you abide to the rules of having AI in meetings. How do you get concent from the others? Or are you only using it personally and did not need to figure these things our?
simionstefanesc··on Apple opens the door to a nightmare world of always-listening tech
I see people focusing a lot on the negatives here. But let's consider what this means for the future of jobs. It will be easyer to understand what is needed, less brainpower towards meetings, we register everything at one client, and now we hardly have any meetings because AI keeps tabs on everything so the agile ceremonies are almost inexistent now. I love that and it frees a lot of time.

Whoever is concerned about being listened to, we already were, not to start any conspiracy theory or anything, but if the government/police etc were concerned with what you were doing they would tap your phone

simionstefanesc··on OccupySaaS
I think most people don't even think about where software comes from, I am a software engineer and if I find a product that I like and solves a pain for me and does it correctly , my first thought isn't "I could do this mnyself" , I buy it, more so if it is like 15-20 dollars. My time is more precious than spending 2 weeks makins sure whatever software I am clonign does the job better.

2 weeks of dev time is worth way more than 20$. So people buy to solve their problem faster and with less of a headache than they would themselves.

simionstefanesc··on Show HN: Overtone – Transcribe, correct and cut captions for any screen shape
The worst thing is when captions try to understand names. For example my name is Simion, and people often call me "Simi" which captions ofter miss and take it as "see me" or some kind of variation like this.

Do you feed any kind of names in the tie break?

simionstefanesc··on Show HN: IsSiteDown – Chrome extension to check current site availability
I am not clear what you are trying to use it on?

If I can't reach a page and the problem is not on my side, I don't actually care what the issue is, since I can't do anything about it.

Maybe I am missing the point

simionstefanesc··on In LLM era, can software startup survive?
This is a qwuestion that has been on top of my mind for quite some time now. My answer is it depends so munch on what are you trying to sell and to whom. As software engineers we see a potential to vibe code any product that we see, but we are alone in this, imagine the guys working as BAs or other roles at multinational corporations. Most of them have absolutely no ideea how to even vibecode a working app, that is only easy to us as engineers. So you can still atract new customers, it's just about who you target and that is mostly it.

True that your products will get cloned, but so what? If people start cloning you, that is only a proof that you are on the right track. Keep on cooking guys
