              @WizardOfDocs Try following @gMoon. They post lists of jobs in Canada that they come across, many of which are remote.

                              @phantasus closer to the first one
                              And not just the "don't use AI at all"
                              After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
                              I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

                              they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
                              instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                                @phantasus closer to the first one
                                And not just the "don't use AI at all"
                                After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
                                I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

                                they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
                                instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                                  so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

                                  Anybody need a writer or editor with:
                                  - 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
                                  - One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
                                  - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
                                  - A knack for learning new content management systems
                                  - A love of working with invested SMEs
                                  - A basic understanding of web dev
                                  - Strong boundaries
                                  - An aversion to generative AI?

                                    The amazing teams one could make with the phenomenal people discarded by the ai-pillocks.

                                    I'm so sorry

                                      @trochee one could, and someone should. Makes me wish I had literally any fundraising or people-organizing experience.

                                        just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩

                                        Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
