I can only imagine what a vibe coded AWS-backed infrastructure would look like and cost if a developer just trusted it to make good decisions.

The real benefactors of AI in software development are senior devs who’ve had enough of boilerplate, framework switching, and other tedious low-value tasks. You cut down on the former laborious tradition of picking through StackOverflow for glimmers of hope.
Payment plans on luxury products are a time-honored tradition in the U.S. I’m not sure how you justify a room temperature hamburger costing that much.
Suburbs -> city -> rural is a common life path for folks these days. I suspect a lot of those that make it out to the country are in for a surprise regarding amenities, socialization, and distractions/entertainment. Rural living filters out a lot of friends and family who see a one-way 30-minute drive as too long for a visit. I see that as a good thing :-)

Don’t use LinkedIn or Monster or Indeed. You’re better off searching on Google with “ inurl:careers” and finding positions these companies are directly hiring for.
There is benefit to being an active participant in your job search. I don't depend on anyone for employment, as self-employment is ALWAYS an option if you're serious about longevity and profit ($$$).
Honestly, the ideal approach if you're going for traditional W-2 steady paycheck employment job is:
- recruiters/people already approach you. This works when you build your network and reputation. - use your network of trusted/worked-with-previously recruiters for leads. - fend for yourself in the murky depths of the scummy internet full of low-life tactics reference farming, resume scraping, and G*d knows else happens when you participate in a public forum.
Real question: did you really want that job or was this just a +1 for your gamified job search? I think quality searches yield quality results.

> The reason nobody uses public transit in America is it's always packed with transients or dangerous people.
That's a lie told by people who sell fear as a product to people who always want new reasons to live in fear.
I spent years riding public transit in Portland, NYC, Seattle, SF, San Diego, Chicago, and other US cities. I can tell you anecdotally that public transit in the US is dangerous and meant for the poors who don’t have their shit together to level up and commute via car.
Ride 8AM and 5PM every workday for a year and tell me that it’s safe when you roll through the bad parts of Long Island/ brooklyn/Queens or the south side of Chicago. Tell me that you don’t have to take the inconvenient early train because of nTh handicap ramp pickup or last-mile cyclist that slows down your commute. Security on transit only cares about fare collection. The US is not like Europe where there is some latent pride in your ancestors accomplishments.
