                @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

                        @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!
