The Ingredients of a Productive Monorepo

If you look at the https://github.com/CajuM/jobhunt/blob/master/gh-orgs-gtek.ts... file you should see largely reputable organizations. It's still a churn to find a job as many are not companies that hire, or are just historical start-ups.

You could Google "site:{domain_from_url} careers" and filter them that way with a script. You'll still need a sorry.sh script for that.

You can then use the following prompt on ChatGPT for the top results: "are there job openings at this url: {url} answer in at most one word, either yes or no"

How does a submission with no comments, a handful of points, posted by a completely new account, linking to a barely used GitHub repo… go straight to the top of HN?

Weekend HN is always like this.

maybe hn gives preferential treatment to key words like 'job'?

why didn't you use the github api to fetch the data?

CajuM•3h ago

If I recall correctly the GitHub API for fetching organizations is authenticated and was worried I'd get banned. Either that or the rate limiting was more lax on the web-site.

Clever “sorry.sh” using nmcli!

You can also ssh into your wireless router and if it's OpenWrt do a `ifdown wan && ifup wan`. It just happened that I own a Banana PI that used to have ArchLinux ARM on it.

I ended up writing a browser plugin to autofill a lot of fields in job applications. It’s extremely inelegant, just a bunch of hackey jquery stuff to automatically set fields, a few conditionals for slightly less obvious stuff, and that’s pretty much it.

I have thought about trying extend this to something like Selenium and applying to literally every software job on LinkedIn and Indeed automatically, but I can’t imagine that would actually turn out well for me.

I hate this grind. It’s exhausting, more so knowing that most of the jobs I am applying to are probably fake postings to help companies pretend they are growing to get more investor money.

I guess time is wasteable for us peons.

Oh... I did not know companies did that? Even serious ones?
