my wife is concerned that my job search will not be fruitful due to my use of ai to build and orchestrate my json and latex resume and cover letter build pipeline. it has not changed much since I initially built it almost 20 years ago. there are only so many ways that the core metadata can be assembled for presentation, yes?

I had a similar fear using career-ops, but I use it as a note taking app/tracker/ and cover letter spot while I apply at very low volumes. I can see how much can go wrong it you were to shotgun a billion apps through it though.

Do resumes bring interviews anymore? Do they at least bring rejection notes? :D
I had a docker/ubuntu/latex setup to build my resume until I switched to Typst. I find Typst quite well suited for the job.

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

Some very nice improvements in 0.9 today.
So, I've been using this harness for a week and a half now, and what's interesting to me is that it brings a lot of things that I'd already built for myself in Pi. I built a little email system for agents to communicate, a memory system to do this "continual harness" thing of self-improvement. I know I'll move on to another harness in the future, so I'm trying to treat this like I do laptops now, and think about portability in the things I build or customize.

I loved the book and Iโm always fearful when a movie script is developed and a movie produced, so my relief after I saw the movie was immense. I too feel theyโve cut-out some bits, but the main thing that a book almost always takes my breath away with is fueling my imagination. A movie would (possibly) never nail that aspect.
@sicilicaprofilefollowreplied to@lemonthymeshortbreadprofilefollowI carved wooden spoons and my favourite herb is lemon thyme.:
I just watched it as well. It was fun. There were a number of things that I felt weren't explained well and broke my suspension of disbelief; I haven't read the book, but I found myself really curious whether the book takes the time to justify things more. Obviously, the movie has a lot of pressure to rush to the next "big moment".

If thereโs one thing Andy Weir canโt be critiqued on then itโs not fully justifying all of the science. I think the film on the other hand can be hard to follow for someone who has neither read the book nor has a scientific background. Itโs just hard to monologue about gravitational forces and relativistic speeds on screen.

What is the exact definition of an IDE? JetBrain's products are as good as ever, in my opinion, but people have definitely made non-IDEs into big, hulking behemoths with tons of plugins. If anything, maybe "just an editor" is dead?
