the "in the last 2 years" is the funniest part. like, the question is pretty nonsensical but they're worried I've forgotten how to implement an API if I haven't done recently

@foone I think people looking for a job should be interviewing employers instead of employers interviewing them. So many employers have no idea what they're actually hiring for.

@foone I think the real answer is probably, maybe, like figuring out your temperature preferences and setting the thermostat.But then I raise a Home Assistant automation that, in few words, "You want 72°F, it's been 74°F the past hour, so we're switching to cooling," "It's past 10PM, now we're switching to 70°F as you configured," and that runs on a decrepit little Intel NUC, talks over Z-Wave, and doesn't need to drink energy like it's free.

@foone You are seeing these questions because the job is classified as 'Back End Developer', there are more, like increase website performance by 1-10%/11-20%.All these were vibed using LLM by incompetent data scientists who never take responsibility for either quality or experience, the review process from their outcome to actual users was also greatly "simplified" by "leadership"'s AI FOMO, they fired ~80% experts who actually care about the quality.
