    Are people actually finding jobs with AI?

    Whenever I open up a job post, I get flooded with a bunch of obviously AI applications. They all look pretty much the same, and the big tell is that resumes are WAY too long and/or dense. All these go straight to the trash.

    Now I’m sure that some (even many) of the good resumes are AI-assisted, but still the candidate actually put care into some human tailoring. IMO AI is too dumb to just find you a job.

      It’s a war of LLM vs LLM, almost all the recruiters reaching out to me are also utilizing LLMs to send messages and write job postings. If those things are impersonal, what’s the point of demanding others to personalize their part of the process?

      I do 1 and 3 in that picture as a freelancer, so 2 is not really a concern. The answer to your question is: yes

      It’s like everywhere, if you’re good at what you do you do not need to fear new tools/techniques. It’s great to be able to concentrate on solving the interesting problems/edge cases while not being bothered too much with boilerplate code/happy path tests.

      But I often meet colleagues in projects and I have to say: if AI writes better code than you, you’re not good at it and you deserve to be replaced.

        I know, I was just making a tongue in cheek comment about the word “codes”. It’s sort of a pet peeve of mine. Hence me writing “many moneys”.

        And before you ask, I don’t know if I’m fun at parties, I don’t get invited /s

          Actually, I think I would invite you to a party. The problem is, I don’t do parties. ;-)
