Everything’s generative-AI, GANs, LLMs… now, which do not produce any value,

hey, I think my LLM satire news thing is cool, at least I have fun with it

better things exist, but nothing is ever perfect.

it would be better to learn to dettach your self-esteem from the job. think on work like the chore it is, like taking out the trash and washing dishes, something you do to pay the bills

I took decades of experience plus adhd medication and depression medication to get where I am. I still feel annoyed to be using tech I don't like and doing stuff I don't like, but I'm handling it a lot better now

nuke it until there is no one left and the radiation turn it into a de facto natural reserve like Chernobyl

I use borg

One anecdote to illustrate the point: On my last job, I was initially directly chosen by upper management that was my former boss in another company. The HR interviewer blocked me anyway, the higher ups hired me as a contractor for a year, and only them they hired me directly

Now you mention it, maybe people with a better interview/offer rate are also doing a better job on not wasting time with positions they aren't a great fit? I get interested when they ask me about things I used only a little before, so I end doing a lof of these

I suspect that some interviews are just to say they interviewed X people before they chose someone

I already live in a low cost country, so moving to a cheaper place wouldn't work

Some professional help is probably a good idea. My CV is probably not a big part of the problem, it's getting me those interviews, maybe it gets me interviews for the wrong jobs. As I'm never sure what I want to do, I could make it look like I am all about stack X, and in the next morning I feel like I want to do some Y, and I get a call from someone that wants something to be done on K, on which I only had experience in a 3 months project and left some mention of it there.

I do that, and it saves me a lot of time with things ending on the screening call. I'm tempted to write all this stuff in my resume / linkedin so I don't even waste time with the screening. It's easier now I'm already employed, it will probably be harder when I really need another job
