  • That’s the neat part. You don’t!

    Seriously though, if its in a separate user profile or a work profile you won’t get any notifications unless it’s active. The simplest solution is to use something like Shelter to get create a work profile. Put G services in that and WhatsApp and anything else. Then you can pause the whole profile when you don’t want it running, and G can only see what’s in that profile. This is what I do and I keep it paused 99% of the time.




  • I don’t like it but you gotta game whatever the current meta is. If they are using AI, you gotta figure out which AI they are using and game that. Maximize your chances to get through the automated bullshit. Once you get through the bullshit you can find out what the job really requires and showcase skills. Its dumb to jump through these hoops, but this is the current game. Play that shit.










  • I disagree on both of those. One off scripts are generally low value. I’ve probably written tens of thousands of lines of bash, but I still look up syntax every time because I purge the low value info when I’m done.

    And autocomplete is exactly there for boilerplate and obvious code. There is ALWAYS a need for that code. Trying to abstract away all duplication will often burn a lot of new brain cycles for both the original engineer and the next engineer that has to maintain it. Sometimes the straightforward code is the best code. And that isn’t even touching on bootstrapping a new project which will necessarily require a lot of that basic repetitive code.

    I’m still an AI skeptic and anti-AI, but you can be opposed to something while still recognizing it’s use.
