I'm planning on taking a few weeks to recharge before I start looking for something, but I figured I'd share what I'll be looking for, on the off chance someone is currently hiring for a perfect match:
What I'm looking for:
Work as a Mobile Application Software Engineer (I have experience working on apps for both iOS and Android). I also have a preference for roles that are remote or in the Chicagoland area (*but* I’m also open to other locations as well if the role seems like a good fit)
Last week, I experienced an unfortunate first in my career when I learned I was included in a round of layoffs 😢
It’s been an emotional rollercoaster, but I'm really grateful that I got to work with some incredible people, and had an opportunity to grow so much as an engineer during my first year out of college.
📣 Speaker Announcement
We're thrilled to welcome Ben Rosen 🎉
Ben will show how SongShift went from cooking everything on-device to running a fully serverless Swift backend in the cloud ☁️
From Food Truck to Deep-Dish Kitchen 🍕
Me: This is complicated asynchronous Swift code that I've been staring at for hours, theres no way Claude is going to figure it out....
Claude (after thinking for less than a second): Heres 3 issues I found
They were all stupid things that I kept missing because I was staring at the code for too long without a break 😳
Thats a weird position for a magsafe port...
I guess the snazzy photos on Apple Newsroom are going to be replaced by AI slop :(
Update: Its just a weirdly placed shadow under an SD card, not a MagSafe Cable😳, tho the image does still look like its at least partially AI generated (Thanks @ncb for the save)
