With AI being all the rage at the moment, I am wondering in what kind of practical ways have you been leveraging AI tooling, and what tools do you find to be most helpful? Thank you!

Also, quoting friom the GDPR, art. 4
"‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;"
I guess interview notes would fall into this category as well.
it's related to a identifiable `data subject` and related to his traits. e.g. "John Smith is bad at math and he hates pencils"

Most of the employers do not offer feedback after a candidate is rejected, mainly due to "legal concerns". However, most of them are using recruiting tools to manage the process, including notes on interviews, thus, issuing a GDPR-backed data portability request should get you those notes.
Did anybody try this? Did it get you the results you were looking for?
Romania has great local food! But not so much when it comes to international cuisine - it's either bad or very expensive.
Internet is fast and stable and on top of that super cheap, compare with other UE countries.
I'd recommend RO if you enjoy nature, specially the mountain/rural side.
That's not just a simple comment, it's art, kind sir! LOL

Wondering how often and what kind of feedback do you receive after a interview that ends up with a rejection? Is it a usual practice in your town/area/country?
Also, what do you appreciate as a feedback and what not?
Github. Great integrations, familiar to most people in the company.

Imagine that the code you've written today would be running on a critical life support system. Would it work flawlessly or hit a "setOxigenLevel is undefined" error and kill you?
How much would you trust the code you've written today?

We're a team of about 10 people, doing daily stand-ups, where we provide updates on what we are doing, blockers, problems, etc. basically in line with the Scrum concept of stand-ups. However, at the end of the day I don't see so much value coming out of the meetings for us. If you find them valuable, how do you guys make it work?

Hi! What companies in Berlin do you think are great to work in, value the employees and would recommend when searching for jobs?
Lucene/Solr, Elastic Search and Algolia did a great job creating search tools and services and this extinguished the thirst of the masses. I don't think it's a solved problem, it's just a problem that has commercially viable solutions.
When it comes to resources, I've found valuable knowledge in Lucene/Solr forums and mailing lists, back in the day. It's worth a read.

Name it something that ends in *-fy. That's still cool, right?

The South America / islands and included because they are territories belonging to a EU country (France, Spain, Portugal). Turkey is in there because it's a candidate country.

As a software developer (or generally ) what 5 questions would you ask your prospective employer during the interview stage, in order to test your fit inside that company, good/bad practices, company ethics and so on?
That's probably gonna be the approach for most people, but when it does get some traction, would be great to have a checklist to start from.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly...
If anything good gets out this thread I'll compile a checklist and pass it around.

As a user, I think GDPR is great, tracking is pretty much getting out of hand. But as a web tinkerer I wonder how do you get your side projects compliant. Where do you start?
That used to be true.
But lately, the demand has grown bigger and bigger and if you look over some job boards you'll see salary ranges that raise the average handsomely.
On the other hand, 60k still is almost 3 time the average salary in Berlin so it can take you quite far.
The bars that don't take orders in English don't actually refuse to do that out of some principle but just because there are just not enough German speaking baristas or bartenders or the market.
For most business owners that is fine because this is a common scenario just in the trendy hoods where most of their customers are anyways English-only speakers.
Talking strictly about Berlin, most of the EU migrants coming in here fall in two categories:
- highly skilled workers (IT, Finance, Sales, Marketing) that earn much more than average german folk, and compete for housing with upper class berliners
- unskilled workers (constructions) that live usually in temp housing and don't attempt to rent a flat for themselves.
As for the refugees, most of them still live in camps distributed across Germany and if they get a flat subsidised by the state it will be in some low demand neighbourhood.
So you mean a decentralised alternative to Yelp? ;)
I actually agree, would love to see that too.

I keep seeing more and more products being launched in Show HN or Product Hunt that present themselves as a "decentralized alternative to X" (GitHub, Youtube, Facebook, Soundcloud).
Is this just a hype train that people board or is it the future of web?

I just tried to delete the Facebook app on my Samsung Galaxy S8 and it looks like that's impossible. It's so embedded in the OS that it cannot be deleted, but only disabled.
