Sometimes it is important to fully disconnect. Its crazy how the mind changes when you give it space. https://t.co/TVc6rDXU1S

I'm officially unemployed at this moment. Not looking, not working, first time in years where I have no work email to check. Oddly weird.

Plot twist: In a world of AI recruiters and ghost jobs... The best solution is still being human. Just finished 300 applications. Here's what actually worked: https://t.co/HkQm8VwRWb

I'm sober for 23 years and looking back, I'm not sure if alcohol ever has a positive effect on anyone. The perception vs reality does not make it true. πŸ˜‚

I have written most of my posts here for a while, I did a year of full automation here to see if it changed anything, did it get more followers with consistent posting? No. It was never about the consistency or timing, it was about the content.

Ghost jobs everywhere. AI screening everything. Humans pretending to be bots. The job market has become pure theater. I just lived through it and wrote about the madness: https://t.co/HkQm8VwRWb

I sent 300+ job applications and got mostly crickets. Turns out AI recruiters are screening out humans. And humans are posting fake jobs. The whole system is broken. https://t.co/HkQm8VwRWb

Not sure how this algorithm works but if you see this reply with a card from a deck of cards. No emoji, actual spelling of the card. Like five of clubs.

Why did a Chinese team embarrass Silicon Valley's best? $4.6M budget 2-year timeline World-class engineers And they still lost to a scrappy startup with pocket change. https://t.co/Hak5qoplwb

Silicon Valley's $4.6M disaster vs China's scrappy win. Same problem. Same timeline. Completely different outcomes. What went wrong? Everything we think we know about building products. https://t.co/Hak5qoplwb

How many posts are actually written, and then replies are automated. Is anything authentic? How can we prove a post is real? Even an image is generated. Prove this image is real. (It is but how do you know?)
