New ask Hacker News story: Tech market feels like a data entry job

Tech market feels like a data entry job 2 by Gravyness | 0 comments on Hacker News. I spent two hours every day filling my resume data to freshly developed forms made specifically to the hiring process of one or two companies. I have a good resume, worked well for a few years before AI, and know it has got a lot harder to land a development gig. I've worked with modern stuff like AI-generated briefs for our meetings, for our bug logs, even for our Q.A. team email replies. Hell, there was an Agent dedicated to verifying how well our code was written at my last job, so I feel like I've kept up with the innovations. But I have no idea how to land a job in development anymore. Literally, I've asked Gemini "what can I improve?" - I've asked my friends and they feel a similar cenario, except those who were loyal to a company until now. I've worked over 5 years remotely but I started applying to local jobs because I've given up on competing with the whole...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What are your career plans in the age of AI?

Ask HN: What are your career plans in the age of AI? 5 by akudha | 4 comments on Hacker News. I expect more and more professions getting affected in the next 3 to 5 years, not all on the positive side. Software dev is already changing. What are your plans? Are you planning to quit software altogether? Or stop coding and adapt, accept AI but stay in software field? Or something else? If you’re not in software, what plans then? It would be helpful if you can include what career level are you at (or age range, if you prefer)

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you grow OSS projects?

Ask HN: How do you grow OSS projects? 2 by tarasyarema | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hey there, founder of a startup here which main product is an oss project. We've been trying to grow the project for months, and it's lowkey growing in stars and adoption. But it's linear. We see other projects do big jumps and hit thousands of stars in days. Going viral in HN, X, etc. We believe that real adoption might not come from one day to another, and the teams using us are happy and want to use us more. Now, I hate to spam in places like hn or other forums, but what strategies have you found working? Specially in the realm of AI. Obviously if you ask ai, it's always: launch in HN, PH, etc, etc. We post a lot on x, linkedin and such, but would love to push the adoption curve up. Any help welcome! Cheers, Won't spam my project here, if you want to check it it's on gh -> desplega-ai/agent-swarm

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Mined crypto on Azure when I was 13, after 12y still cannot open account

Ask HN: Mined crypto on Azure when I was 13, after 12y still cannot open account 2 by realaccfromPL | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey all, I have a very stupid confession, back when DOGE was first introduced, I didn't think much of it and followed a bunch of tutorials on how to mine it on free (and much less limited) Azure account. I used up all of the credits and didn't think much of it... Now, I am infra engineer with about 5 years of experience, I have multiple Azure certs, I use it everyday at work but I still cannot get MSFT to unlock my personal account or allow me to create a new one, citing fraud. At the beginning of my career I even got to be a part of the terrible Azure technical customer service and internal requests to lift it off of me didn't help. Please advice is there any way to get to be a legitimate user of service again. Thank you.
