      @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

                                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!
