I knew going into the job market that it was a rough time, but experiencing it is something else. I've applied to 2-3 jobs every day for 2 months, and only had 2 companies get back to me.

The first didn't know their own tech stack. I had to tell them that their job listing was completely inaccurate, and that I didn't have any experience with the technology they actually used.

I just had my second, which lasted under 3 minutes. They lead with their compensation package being 2/3rds what I was asking (which is basically just the average for this area and my experience).

There’s a user on here complaining about how bad the Bluesky iPad update is because it “looks like Boost Blue.” The similarity being that they both have iPad friendly layouts. Anyway, just proof that you can’t please everyone.

Times I've intentionally used Claude Code's prompt suggestions: 0 Times I've accidentally hit enter, submitting a prompt I didn't want: ♾️

The last company I saw do this was FTX, let’s cross our fingers 🤞🏽

It’s incredible the things you don’t realize are sacred until you can no longer rely on them

I just lost my job, totally blindsided 🙁 I've been developing iOS since 2012, and now I've been deep into agentic Engineering, especially this year. My family situation requires me to work remotely. I live in Utah, USA. Please spread the word 🙏🏽 Any help? 🩷

The complexity gap of the YCSE discourse on Reddit vs TikTok is staggering. Further evidence that text free platforms actively degrade thinking.

Bluesky: This movie is amazing, not saying anything else. Reddit: Here’s a really in-depth analysis of what Nathan was trying to say with this movie. TikTok: Elizabeth Holmes did nothing wrong, actually, and was targeted for being a woman. Fraud is a part of business.

Weird Story real quick… A year ago my friend Bria and I released a cute little app that installs an easily distractible bean on your phone. If you use your phone less the bean can knit more and then you can trade in the stuff they knit for decor for their house. SINCE THEN............

A personal note on You Can See Everything: I recently worked with someone that reminded me a lot of EH. His entire view of what was true was based exclusively on what would be best for him. It's hard to describe how odd it is to talk to someone that delusional, just completely mind warping.

Cool use case for the Bsky API and live events here.

I've had Claude compose a unified courtroom timeline for the Reyes hearing, working from @rparloff.bsky.social's megathread and @mollyroberts.bsky.social's three threads from today. It will update until adjournment and may be easier to follow. You can find it here:

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

Preview of how the watching status could be used:

Jaxon Evans@jaxonevans.social

Working on a new lexicon for @sidelineapp.bsky.social, a "watching" status so you can share what sports event you're following. Looking for feedback on the event ID format. Thread:

Cue is live on the App Store 🎉 I built it to make taking my media library offline easier before family trips. Native iPhone/iPad player with downloads and AirPlay. Supports Jellyfin for now; more servers planned. Free with optional Pro. apps.apple.com/us/app/cue-... #jellyfin #ios

LinkedIn's job matching is worthless. It is both warning that I'm not a good candidate for jobs that are a perfect fit for my skillset, while recommending jobs for tech stacks I've never touched before.

Lol
