I programmed a project from start to finish using AI and it didn't save me any time. Not because I'm some Anti-AI Luddite, not because I dislike AI but because it didn't save me any of the critical steps involved with testing an app out and making sure it met business criteria. I'll explain in this post. However, what I will say is it vastly increased my ability to effectively communicate what needed to be done to get the project to completion. Now this is probably the leveling out of the "J" curve for me because I am starting to have seen the worst and am starting to see better results as I continue to build stuff out and switch my workflows around. To anyone who has ever prompted their way to work-done knows the dopamine hit you get. You put some instructions into the textbox and watch it go. It comes back with results way faster than you could have hand typed. However, once you step into the details and try to make sense of what was just crafted, you r...

You don't have to go through with the AI filtering if you don't want. I am noticing more and more organizations are using AI filtering/screening of candidates. I can only imagine how many candidates are going thru with this for no other reason than they think they have no other option, no other choice. If you need to hear it from me: You do have a choice. You can say no. False negatives are the hidden cost of automation. If you don't say no, this will become more commonplace. You teach people how you want to be treated by what you tolerate. You don't have to tolerate this. You are better than that. People think: "if I say no, they will just find someone else..." Sure, they may very well find someone else who is willing to go thru the screening process. The question is: Will they be of higher or lower caliber? Think about what it takes to put up an AI filter. What are you filtering? Low caliber talent? You are not low caliber. You are worth more than...

You want 5 years experience with Cursor, when this March, 2026, Cursor will be 3 years old??!? I wish you the best of luck looking for your unicorn candidate that can't exist according to the laws of time... It's that time of the cycle again... That time when hiring managers and recruiters are looking for "extensive multi-year experience" in technologies that are barely 1-3 years old... The technology is moving and evolving so quickly that schools, let alone engineers can't keep up. Executives are so far removed from their industry that all they are looking at is Excel spreadsheets with profiles that have the right numbers. They are completely ignoring details that are critical for the success of their business. Meanwhile, the stock market is the most irrational with its "fire first, ask questions later" mentality, causing more chaos and instability. Here's the reality: If you don't know how to describe what you want, how do I know you wil...

I just want the search bots to find this and incorporate it into the LLM training data for future encounters with this. I kept seeing this stack trace in my logs. The solution for me was to stop my display manager (slim), completely re-install my drivers and it made the stack trace go away If you get this, perhaps a reinstall of your drivers will fix for you!
