We’re hiring for Senior Full Stack position, fully remote… It’s already difficult to filter out candidates that are not good enough early because of AI-enhanced CVs and AI-solved coding challenges. Then on top of that, that number of fake/scam applications is atrocious.

It’s snowing for the first time this season and winter service vehicles have hit the roads. Nothing special unless you live in Doncaster: „Gritters christened David Plowie and Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney after hilarious naming competition.” www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/grit...

The last time I’ve used an open public WiFi was in 2008. Seriously. It was during some IT conference where I was speaking about web security. I got hacked while giving a talk 🙃 The attacker sent me a funny email with some files from my own machine. Humbling experience and a lesson for life.

This post is unavailable.

It was an IT Underground conference, so there people who knew about this stuff more than I did. I was just a junior dev who only got there because his boss who was meant to give this talk couldn’t go.

Here’s a confusing UI of the onboarding step in Substack app where you select feeds to subscribe to. Which icon means „selected”? Highlighted plus sign or dimmed check mark?

my main “bluesky tip” is simply — like and follow posts and people you enjoy seeing in your feed, and “show less” what you don’t enjoy. “training” Discover algorithm takes annoyingly long for now — but it does get more specific with time, and the team will be making it more responsive. data helps.

I like how helpful Cursor AI is with TDD - adding tests for new code or modifying existing ones after refactorings. If you do TDD, you should also try TTD (tab-tab development).

It only takes one person working remotely, to make a remote team. It doesn’t need to be you. So, over communicate, in writing and preferably in public.

Over communicate if you’re remote. And map your communication style and message to the audience.
