When a candidate's CV matches the job description too well

I should vibe code a cluely detector.

Since it's hiring season, the first question I ask, after a five minute overview of the team, the responsibilities, and myself: Why do you want to join [COMPANY]?

I've used a lot of GPT-5 Pro and Opus 4.1 to think deeply about how to make HiFi generation faster or better. Everything it told me, I've already tried.

Being forced to read Python and Go slop.

Unpopular approach to learning C++ During my MSc, I had a great tutor, who taught me binary auditing and reverse engineering using IDA Pro. He challenged us to understand the assembly code, find ways to exploit it and write the exploit, or implement keygens. Thankful for that!

No update from my side

Thanks to ChatGPT, most of your CVs look the same and make it much easier to filter.

You are tuning your HiFi CUDA kernels by hand?

Ok, since I need real feedback to keep working on my CLI app, I’m giving away FREE lifetime licenses to anyone who reposts this tweet.

Torn between touching grass and cooking. BBQ time.

Trigger-happy as usual @cursor_ai

The urge to use those new models for some serious bioinformatics

Newest low: I gave Claude Code the compile line to reproduce errors. It executes the line, patches the code and then claims it's done. I ask it to retry, it refuses to run the same command again and wants to check the next file. Gaslighting...

I'm giving up on code-supernova for now. It also bloats up the context window insanely fast.
