Why is it surprising? I use typescript a lot, but I would have never even thought to have this insight so I am missing some language design decisions

I don’t know why, but going out of your way to make sure the coining of this is attributed to a random user on the internet made me incredibly nostalgic for what the pre Web 2.0 internet was like sans the 4chans, liveleak, and their forebears on usenet

I’ve been using it in my job search by handing it stuff like the hn whose hiring threads, giving it a list of criteria i care about, and have it scour those posts for matching jobs, and then chase down all the companies posting and see if they have anything on their corporate site matching my descriptions.

Then I have it take those matches and try and chase down the hiring manager based on public info.

I did it at first just to see if it was possible, but I am getting direct emails that have been accurate a handful of times and I never would have gotten that on my own

That hiring binge was already nullified by the waves of layoffs.

I think everything else you’re saying is happening/has happened but companies hiring less because of anticipated AI productivity gains is also occurring. Like the scuttlebutt I hear about certain faangs requiring managers have 9-10 direct reports now instead of 7
