First I have to drink a verification can, and now this??!!
Gork@lemm.eeto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Speaking words of wisdom...Let It Be, Let It Be57·3 months agoIt’s a load-bearing function.
We have no idea why it’s important, just that it is critical to everything functioning.
Start your plans to escape now even though it’s a few years away.
Find sympathetic family members or close friends who’d be willing to take you in. Preferably someone who your dad doesn’t know, or at the least doesn’t know where they live.
Act as you usually would around him, don’t have him suspect anything.
When the time comes, spring your plan into motion. Notify your contacts that you’ll need to be picked up. Pack essentials into a bag. Include vital documentation (birth certificate, social security card, ID) since those can be difficult to replace. Bring your pets if you have them. Leave in the middle of the night when he’s sleeping. Don’t leave a note. Turn off read receipts on your messaging application. Minimize as much leverage as he has over you.
You’re escaping abuse, so your own personal safety here is paramount, don’t feel like you’re obligated to him in any way. He will try to manipulate you if he knows where you went, so it’s best to just ghost entirely.
Jokes on him. I’m a carrier of the Woke Mind Virus and there’s nothing he can do about it.

Shove it in there lol

Mmm yes. Unexplained issues that have a single mention in StackOverflow five years ago, have a single reply by the author just saying “nvm I figured it out” and doesn’t explain the resolution.
It’s time for chbottomt and clbottom to finally become valid HTML statements.
It helps when you’ve fed a few that you’ve made by hand to start in the same thread for it to use as an example (and format), along with one of your resumes. Then copy and paste the job description and have it generate a cover letter for you.
Keep it all in one massive thread, if it makes a mistake, correct it and tell it to apply those changes to future ones as well (in my case it kept saying I had over ten years of experience when in actually I just had ten, so I had to correct that behavior).
Since it’s an AI it will sometimes hallucinate, this usually happens if there are terms in the job description that aren’t in your resume… either have it regenerate (if it will take more than a few minutes to edit) or strip out the offending sentences. Some will need very little editing, especially if the job description closely aligns with what you have on your resume.
Oh and be polite because it now knows all your skills and can probably murder you in your sleep lol
ChatGPT Plus is likely, for many people, a “lifestyle product.” And the problem is that, when people lose their jobs or inflation hikes, these products are the first to get slashed from the household budget.
So I have a slightly different experience here. When I lost my job recently I actually ended up signing up for ChatGPT plus. I abused the ever living hell out of 4o to crank out tailored cover letters and matching resumes. I was able to roughly triple my job search productivity until I got a job three months later.
Was it worth it? For that timeframe (3 months, $60) hell yeah since the mental labor of handcrafting cover letters for each job listing is extremely taxing and takes some of the awfulness out of the entire job hunt.

I still like to call it Twitter in the extraordinarily unlikely event that Elon sees this post and gets triggered over it.
Here I present a little something I call a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V
Another of Elon Musk’s kids?

We need more funding for RGB lit components for our programmers since this will make them better programmers
