... over here have something I can help with?

I have had all sort of experiences in my job search:

Sometimes I pass the interviews but companies goes with other candidates. I have failed some interviews too (Unable to solve the problem on the given amount of minutes by the interviewer). I have taken two take-home projects, ghosted. In my last interview after elaborating about my experience they told me: We have just been told the vacancy is no more. Also, I have been noticing that Spring have become synonym of Java (Most of the time when I apply for a Java Developer job they ask about Spring), I can grasp it on the job.

I need to refresh some Algorithms knowledge, I have devoted sometime learning Scala for example, and a little bit of Haskell.

I firmly believe I can help with something in a Software oriented company, even data wrangling or any other task nobody else likes to do.

Here's my website: https://calebjosue.gigalixirapp.com (Take a look at the lifelong learning section)

I am located in Mexico, so I am willing to do remote. And... (Please don't hate me for this [I know this put pressure on other country's citizens]) I don't charge that much.

P.S. I can't help thinking one of my biggest mistakes have been being too idealistic. Or neglecting reality, e.g. I have devoted these two past days entirely to Blender in order to produce a little sorta short-film. But any step I was thinking I shall study some Algorithms. But I really wanted to finish this Blender project, once down, I hardly will spend more than half an hour to it (Exception on the weekends of course).

Be the visionaries Steve Jobs have in mind when he said he was looking for a long-term relationship: _We will build great things on the next decade_ (IIRC)

I accept I've failed on focusing in a simple thing to build deep knowledge of a given computer science area. If you allow me to play the victim card: I am in need to buy some medicines for my skin condition. (Yes, I know you are not a charity but believe, I truly believe I can help you with something).

Today I tried to post my open source project on the /r/opensource subreddit. It's an AGPL 3.0-licensed, terminal-based AI coding tool that defaults to OpenAI, but can also be used with other models, including open source models.

The subreddit's rules in the sidebar state that a project must be open source under the definition on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source) and also that limited and responsible self-promotion is ok.

My post was automatically blocked, seemingly by the mere mention of "OpenAI". The auto-message stated that "ChatGPT wrappers" were not allowed on the subreddit.

I messaged the mods to tell them about the mistake, since my project plainly is not a "ChatGPT wrapper". One of them replied saying only "Working as intended" and that because my project uses OpenAI models by default, it isn't welcome in the subreddit.

I asked why projects using OpenAI in particular are penalized (despite this being mentioned nowhere in the rules on the sidebar), considering that there are many posts for projects interfacing with MacOS, Windows, AWS, GitHub, and countless other closed source technologies. I received no answer to this question. I was only told that any project "advertising" OpenAI was "against the spirit of FOSS" and therefore did not belong on the subreddit. The mod also continued derisively referring to my project as a "ChatGPT wrapper" and "OpenAI plugin" despite my earlier explanation. I was also called "egocentric" for wanting to share my project.

It made me sad that a subreddit with over 200k members that seems to have a lot of cool discussions going on is being moderated like this. What's with all the gatekeeping? Why are people so interested in excluding the "wrong" type of open source projects? As far as I'm concerned, if you have an open source license and people can run your code, then your project is open source.

Am I right to be miffed by this or does the moderator have a point? Have you experienced this kind of thing with your own projects? How have you dealt with it?

This is my project, by the way: https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex

I want to ask hiring managers, how often would you consider hiring vendors for your project? What are things you consider before hiring? And what are the concerns that you have?

Ended up filling a whole bunch of forms and finally got it. Apple is not very user friendly.
