hey this is pretty cool! very interesting concept to transpile to rbs.

in most of my coding career (rails) i have not needed types. But when i was working on a large codebase with many teams, the lack of types was a recurring issue. now i work in a SOA and face different coupling challenges.

But i much prefer this syntax to what RBS required.

oh COME ON... "AI safety" is getting out of hand.

the AI hallucinated and somehow it's rails fault?

GID's are great - i think the issue is with how they leveraged rubyLLM for something they should inherently not be using LLMs for.

> Remember that GIDs were made for facilitating ActiveJob serialization - they are a system-level facility, not a product-level facility.

I think this is somewhat obvious given the signature like gid://awesome-app/Post/32; there is no scoping to the user or account so it should be treated like a global lookup. If you need scoping to a user/account you can build that.

Honestly I think this is a matter of the author using poor design decisions and over leveraging LLMs. But this is not the fault of Rails, it is working as expected.

Be careful with LLMs!

They just described servant leadership and called it something else. It's not about parenting or treating people like children.

FWIW you don't even need to define custom elements to use them: https://html3000.dev/

I expect price tags will become QR-code based, and you'll need their app to see the price. This will let them tailor prices to each person for minimal costs.

> Maybe that's because they can relate and you cannot.

Now you're deflecting. I passed no judgement i made an observation of your statement and you took it personally.

> As to me being a dick: I've been maintaining Homebrew for 16 years. It's used by millions of people. My full-time job has never been doing so and I've never been paid a market rate for my work on it (not that I expect or perhaps even deserve so). My primary concern with Homebrew is keeping the project actually running. This primarily requires the time, energy and work of maintainers doing so in their free time. It also requires contributors who submit pull requests.

your explanation did nothing to speak to being a dick, did not attempt to apologize, only tried to justify the poor behavior.

Take a look at their codebase (posthog is open source) and then tell me again that collaboration sucks, because i feel like the lack of collab is why their codebase is in such terrible condition.

i enjoyed this and found it insightful into thinking about costs.

ditto on self-acceptance being much easier to grasp and champion than self-love

or flag it

i have never heard of this and nothing i've read has indicated this; it's always been tech companies large fortune 500's. I did some googling and am not finding anything to support this claim, either. If you've got sources i'd love to see them.

what do you mean? Shopify is the largest eCommerce platform and runs rails.

as a Rails dev this makes me LOL. I would have expected the rube goldburg machine of JS frameworks to be more robust and ergonomic by now, but it looks more to be hacks built on top of hacks with no real vision or technical leadership.

wow amazing to see that what's old is new again; is it cyclical? is this a wheel of ideas that keeps rotating? or is this falling backwards and regression? The conditions are not dissimilar to then as they are now.

I love how this is actually interesting, got 10K upvotes on reddit, but was removed by the subreddit mod team for not being interesting enough.

Reddit sucks.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm sorry to hear you were unable to find a good role and had to take on more menial work.

If I recall, there was an article I read about how certifications do not really impact getting a job but YMMV depending on what you're certifying in and what jobs you're applying to. I had one interviewer skeptical i would be able to understand their GCP so in that instance being "GCP certified" in some way would have helped me.

I don't know where your expectations come from but people in my network are either also unemployed, or working for companies not hiring for my role/region/tech/seniority.

Honestly, good for you. I wish that could have been my story too.

yes well... it's a story. I was semi-retired before, living off my portfolio. But between the new presidency messing up the market and some family expenses that popped up I was put in an unexpected corner. Life be like that sometimes.

> You sent 450 applications for one hiring. Very roughly speaking this means you expect the employer to carefully consider 450 applications for their one job opening

I think you misunderstand. I did not apply to the same job 450 times. These were 450 different companies/positions that aligned with my resume.

> I'm just arguing that we cannot expect the employer to carefully consider all these applications. There is no point in being shocked / surprised / whatever by this. The sprayed and prayed applications will not be read carefully. The employer will find whichever shortcut to sift through the pile and will carefully consider only a handful of all these applicants.

Which is exactly why one needs to apply to many jobs. Almost every job on linkedin has had over 100 applicants after it's been up for a few hours. If you just apply to a handful, there's little chance you'll find success.

I didn't mention it before, but a CFO friend of mine is the one who told me to spray & pray because it's what she had to do and encouraged me to do the same. She was initially against doing it herself, but she changed her mind. And she is a C-suite and is someone with a large network.

Thanks for your comment, and good luck in your search!

Thanks for your comment; remember that it's a marathon, not a race! Make sure you pace yourself, take breaks, and don't take rejections too personally.

yep! most positions usually takes only a few minutes to apply to, and some are quicker than others.

I built a browser extension that turned X into a CRM. Did 35 demo's to people and most of them were excited for it, even made a woman cry (in a good way). got ~16 sales but things have plateaued, and actual usage has been mixed for a variety of reasons, namely people use their phones more than their computers.

Good advice except: my friends and acquaintances are either unemployed too or working for companies not hiring for my role/region. there are no meetups in my city and the conferences one can attend only happen a few times a year and sell out very quickly. And yes, I did speak to several recruiters and have probably spoken to dozens in my career. None have been useful in the end.

Given that, what is one to do? you can either quit tech and go work at whole foods, or you can try another tactic. That's what I did. And it actually landed me a perfect job that pays well and is aligned with my skill set.

again, if i did this i would not have a job right now. This is my lived experience. This is what I had to do. It is not what I wanted to have done. That's why I wrote my post, because someone out there might really be struggling with this job market and need to hear about it.

I'm not saying taking a more personal approach doesn't work. Sure, if you've got an event you can go to or you've got a network you can tap, do that. But neither were options for me. Nobody in my network was hiring, and the one event i could have attended (where relevant people would be) sold out within a few hours.

what are you actually talking about.

Yes, the job i found is a perfect fit for me and my skillset. I did not fake my way into something.

and my point is: if you genuinely apply to a position and you never even hear back from them, not even to reject you, it doesn't make sense to only apply to a handful. again, emphasis genuine application; answered all their questions and the role is a fit for my resume. That's why you have to spray and pray.
