In a perfect world, sure. But realistically, people don't dig into the context. They see an arrest on your record and move to the next guy. Either that or, some automated system sees you checked 'yes I was arrested before' and filters you out automatically.
I don’t think it’s going to burst like how other people expect. The technology is already out there, when it loses steam people aren’t suddenly going to stop using it. I predit it’ll be more like the dot come crash where companies that can survive the downturn come out dominant.
I've tried this, it's honestly not worth the amount of time (and additional context) for the results. I've had more success prompting Claude with manageable and testable iterations.
Planning is good but get-shit-done just added too much planning in my opinion.
If you're looking for Claude Code alternatives, I would first suggest looking into pi.dev or opencode for your harness. And then for models, you can choose from OpenCode Go (IMO most cost effect at this moment), OpenRouter, or direct from DeepSeek. Better if you go the Kimi route IMO and just buy a subscription from kimi.com
I’ve been maining Kimi k2.6 through opencode go and openrouter for a week and I can say it’s the same experience as when I was maining Sonnet 3.5/4 late last year.
Not as good or as fast as Claude Code on Opus now but definitely enough for casual/hobby use. The best part is multiple choices for providers, if opencode gimps their service, I’ll switch
Do you have notifications turned on for your terminal app? I never received notifications from Claude Code until I moved to a new machine and remember explicitly allowing notifications from Ghostty.
Also PHP has Laravel Spark[0]. They basically bootstrapped a SaaS but for a price. Not sure if it's worth it, but it's from the guys who made Laravel, and everyone only has good things to say about that so...
Also there's two versions of the Samantha voice. One is 11 mb (downloaded by default) and another is 152mb (have to download from settings). The improvement with the 150mb version is very noticeable
I don't know where I found it, but I saw a job ad for a dev role that asked for an MBTI test first (it's about personality types thing like INFJ INFP etc).
Asking for this in a job for coding was... something else. And I thought leetcode was all I had to study
This topic has always interested me. For people looking for a free alternative (free for Apple users), I recommend looking into iOS and MacOS spoken content under Accessibility [0]
It's a bit finicky at times but the pros are
1. Free
2. It works on anything on your iPhone, iPad or Mac screen
3. Apple's Siri voices are actually really good! (Better than Speechify voices)
Started looking late November and started tracking my applications in January.
I have applied to a total of 46 positions within a month. This has led to six interviews, several of which I received no response, 13 formal rejections, and one job offer which I declined (The decline was due to the position being advertised as a developer role, yet the recruiter mentioned that about 50% of the duties would involve support tasks)
Seeing this thread gives me some relief. At least it's not just me but a broader trend across the whole industry
