Did that AI round feedback scuttle a potential offer?

Unfortunately they decided not to proceed despite glowing feedback in the other rounds

I'm not a fan of taking zoom calls while my mic picks up the voice of the person that sits across the room. I'd call being able to communicate via voice call without noise issues a need. While it can be done, constantly hearing other ppl in the background during a call just feels unprofessional/sloppy.

The best programmers don't actually need to go without interruption all that much nor all that often.

It's really more of a way for the employer to show how much respect they have for their people compared to lesser outfits that don't give a shit.

Just read the headline?

My Fenix 8 lasts for about a month with 10 hours per week of training. 30 hours with everything enabled is pathetic for a smart watch.

fenix is huge so it's understandable

The mid-size Fenix that I'm talking about is 47mm. The Pixel 5 with this shitty battery life is 45mm. And the also-shitty Ultra is 49mm. So, no, size is not the difference at all.

Oh, for sure, but Garmin's watches do operate under a different principle. They got a lot of SOC's doing specific tasks more efficiently vs software and their OS is more limited in terms of apps. Android/Apple watches are more like miniaturized smartphones. To each their own. The only reason I don't wear a garmin is that the interface navigation is much less intuitive vs my pebble

It's so, so clearly written by Claude. What are you talking about. Do you really think that you can fool people with so little effort?

This is so much more interesting than yet another LLM release.

Tell me you're bad at software engineering without telling me you're bad at software engineering.

Such is life.

No... no it doesn't.

It literally is just next word prediction. If you don't understand that, everything else you're thinking and saying is based on an incorrect foundation.

Take a step back and really take a look at what's going on. You are not thinking clearly.

Okay grandpa, let's get you back to bed

Everyone saying it is in the "not as good as they think they are" camp is the very obvious explanation.
