  This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.

  I’m a very experienced software developer. I’ve tried a lot of “AI” tools and they are just a waste of time. You can use ChatGPT as some kind of search engine, but it fails utterly with more complex tasks and code bases. It’s a bit like answers on stackoverflow. Sometimes a bad solution got the highest vote and you find a suitable approach for your problem on page 2. You need experience to understand the difference. AI tools for coding were also trained on hobby code bases, tutorials and such. You can see that in the output. It’s missing input validation, error handling, patterns etc.

  Sure you can “discuss” with AI to add those features, but frankly its faster to just write it yourself. (For production ready code, a POC might be ok)

  So if someone shows up claiming he wants to solve my “unsolveable” problems with AI I think they are not qualified enough to understand that they probably won’t. Also if an AI tool could do it why would I need them?

  The rest of the resume is also just unspecific. It seems he knows Javascript, as far as I recall. Seems to do frontend and graphics. But I have no idea which frameworks he knows or what was his actual task in these projects. (I just skimmed over the text, this is what I recall. I might be wrong about it)

  Finally the whole context: AI stole my job -> I want a job where I can use AI So apparently he says AI can do his job, which means for me: not qualified

  Please remember: my very personal opinion, based on a 2 minute research. Could be very wrong and biased.

  From his resume:

  Goals I am looking to be part of a small-to-midsized engineering team where I can have real impact by solving hard and previously unsolvable problems by leveraging AI tools.

  I would also not hire him. I’m not really familiar with US resume culture, but the whole thing is very unappealing to me. Also from his linked substack, I get unpleasant vibes.

  And he still does not know the difference between taxes and tariffs and who’s gonna pay them.

  You comment sounds a lot to me like: One does not need consent, if it’s too much of a hassle to get it. Also they stole the content, so thats fine anyway.

  I first thought they now think that people drinking beer from a bottle look like mateing jewel beetles.

  Basically if the view is unobstructed the owners of the plot nearby are not allow to built a house since that would obstruct a former unobstructed view. Some ancient law and a “workaround” to keep the value of the nearby land high.
