Mac Mini’s are cool, and I appreciate that Apple has some of the most experienced and talented designers in the world… But they put the power switch on the bottom. You have to lift it up and turn it over to turn it on and off.

I run a few bots on Bluesky and absently check it occasionally on a personal account. Anecdotally I can say that I’m seeing a lot more engagement even just over the last week.

It definitively feels like AI is in my way in many ways. There’s clearly a lot of recruiters using it to sort through applications (I’ve gotten more than a few rejections that start with “Sure! Here’s a polite but firm letter rejecting a job candidate.”), but also the expectation that AI can do what I’d be doing as a junior, so why bother hiring juniors?

I get the point about publishing everything and I’ve been doing that. Even my janky early Python is on my Github. It’s just frustrating that I’m not even getting the chance to discuss it with an interviewer.

I’ll look into some of those channels and such as well, thank you.
