Re:Ask HN: Those who got layed off. Have you found a job?
on Thursday July 11, 2024 @10:09AM (#40937006)
Laid off last fall but luckily had severance take me to the beginning of 2024. Just started a job this week.
My experience with the job hunt this time around was horrible. I was overqualified for a large majority of positions I applied for and a perfect match for others yet I would be extremely lucky to even hear back a 'no thanks'.
The last time I was applying for jobs was during covid and I was at multiple stages of the interview process for multiple companies all at once and was actually able to make a choice regarding my future employment instead of just taking the first bone thrown my way like this time.

In the early 60's he stayed at a hotel that my grandfather managed in NYC. He drew and dedicated a Babar picture for my mother and each of her sisters, 4 in total. I inherited one of them from my aunt who is my namesake Roberta --> Robert. It has been my most prized possession for a long time.

rotten tomatoes is the absolute worst of all worlds when it comes to film review so praise be there isn't a parallel for consumer electronics

Facebook is king for niche groups and I just don't know why. I'd love to give it up but I honestly don't know a better way to interact with these micro groups i've grown to love. P.S the answer is most definitely not reddit

Repetitive yes, brainless no. Every day is the same problem and you need to figure out the best way to solve it. You also get paid for the number of hours the computer says. Finish your route in 5 hours and getting paid for 8 was pretty rewarding. I also stayed in great shape and you get to hang out outside all day.

We are currently in the process of reorganizing our teams to use DDD & Gherkin. Any tips? There is a lot of churn currently and I have not yet seen any real benefit to it. Context -- I'm full-stack, our team has recently grown to a point where we needed more organization than just throwing a frontend/backend pair at a story/task. Our team is distributed across the country as well.
