New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: I Need Advice

Ask HN: I Need Advice 4 by TuxedoBuddy | 7 comments on Hacker News. Hello HN. I was laid off six months ago from my longest tenured job. Since then, I have been rotting. And I mean really rotting. I have been staying up late, sleeping in, skipping chores, neglecting my relationships, eating too much food, neglecting hygiene, and generally just being a bum. I have a nest egg that I had saved up for this exact situation, but it appears that it has just made me even lazier. I have not been applying to many jobs, maybe one per week. My main reason has been that I am afraid of interviewing and that my skills are not up to par. I don't know what to do anymore. I need to kick myself into gear, but I am finding it incredibly difficult. I'm not looking for pity, just some assistance from the brain trust here at HN. Thank you for reading.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: I'm going on strike this November

Tell HN: I'm going on strike this November 8 by curiousaboutml | 6 comments on Hacker News. Text too big for this (limit 4000 chars), so I'll post in comments. How to join the strike: You simplify inform your employer that you are going on strike. Feel free to send them a link to this thread. Inform them how you feel about your specific situation. There is no need to debate whether you can do this or not. If enough of us do this, it will work.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: What do you believe or not believe about AI?

Ask HN: What do you believe or not believe about AI? 2 by maniac_2000 | 2 comments on Hacker News. There is quite opposing discourse on the internet as to whether AI is going to take everyone's job, or if we are witnessing one of the greatest pre-IPO PR jobs in history. Or both. I'm wondering what people smarter than me believe or don't believe.
