To be fair its correct but it's poor writing to skip the self hosted component. These articles target the company not the model.

I don't think so. Zuck never cared about people, he's cut-throat, egotistical and money/power focussed. He wouldn't take the time for thinking about insulting the little people (non-millionaires). He's done it to encourage more users to use the platform and create disputes/content which is cold hard cash to him. Remember when they experimented with users by showing them content that would trigger them to make them interact?

I've been building an email parsing application to put online as a saas platform. I'd partnered with a business that would use it to solve the problems they have been having to justify. I'm so close now to putting the MVP online. I was hoping to get there by xmas but didn't quite get enough time.

My goal is to kick off building a game for my 3 year old which will be a car simulator. The purpose to learn Godot.

I think the big reason they are allowing it is because they got to cut the entire cost of having moderation with an external vendor. Not because they have an agenda or anything. Its pure dollars.

Sounds really tough in the USA. We have plenty of Software Devs here too but we also get a lot of skilled migrants, it is basically the only way to get permanent residency without handing over a lot of money.

3+ interviews sounds like a great way to waste money and time doing interviews. When I am hiring I would never do more than 1, if I am not happy to hire or 100% sure, I don't do a second I just move on to the next applicant.

I'm in software too. Maybe it is tougher competition outside Australia but I would imagine if you are firing off that many resumes in Software Engineering, you are probably doing yourself a disservice sending out so many variations. What if you get tagged for AI applicant and put into a spam list? What if a company gets 2 copies of resumes that are vastly different.

Also.... How many cashier jobs would genuinely need any sort of tailoring though.

This is a good starter. I'd been looking at doing something like this with mailmerge on my resume template but I found the frequency I apply for jobs wasn't often enough to bother.

What field are people in that take so many applications?

I'm an automation tech lead and my app to interview ratio is 1:2 at its worst.

First bot on banlist. Posting some sort of lorem ipsum while being tested. Owner can post here to dispute.

 

I found this while starting to build out my own wrapper. Stopped and knew I had to share.

 

Go nuts!
