  This sounds amazing and I’m bummed the time doesn’t work for me. Wish you the best in your search!

  I’m confused, if VPN use soured for that very reason, wouldn’t traffic remain roughly the same?

  This is the only thing that gives me solace for future gigs.

  But it absolutely decimates junior devs and that really sucks.

  For one of them, yes, but it costs more than they want to pay.

  For the other…sort of yes, but it goes out 50%-70% of the day for some dumb reason I’ve yet to figure out. The company has no plans to fix/improve it…and they’re the same company offering the dialup backup.

  To be fair, I have rural family in areas where dial up is still their only internet option.

  Canceled my Perplexity subscription (that I got for free…lol) after their last shitty scandal.

  Fuck this company.

  Shhhh, they don’t need to know this.

  I just see this as future job security.

  Oh, AI fucked your codebase? Well, it’ll take twice as much time to undo it all and fix it, my rate is $150/hr. Thanks.

  This is not how I wanted to start my week.

  I mean, it makes sense, OpenAI is garbage compared to the competitors.
