Side projects wont make a dent in them. Or won't materially imrpove anything for me.
>>Or make your own project?
I have gone down that route. But w.r.t my own projects, I am stuck in a local minima.
>>There are so many possible projects that are more about marketing than substance, where you could build the technical side quite quickly (e.g an LLM wrapper with a RAG for [insert niche here]).
Agreed. But this of this offer as a hobby rather than a money making avenue.
Something to do for fun
I tend to agree that unless the extra income is going to seriously help pay off my mortgage, it's hardly worth the hassle of negotiation. Not that my outgoings have ever been on the scale of yours!
Respectfully, why not?
That's the whole point of campaigning. I seriously hope an incoming administration has a plan before they get to office. "I wouldn't change anything" fortunately doesn't seem to win elections when everything's sideways.
Campaigning is done right happens between elections. In most countries you only have 4/6 weeks. As Kim Campbell of Canada famously said an election is not the time to debate issues. Now the US has a much longer campaign period.. and elections every 2 years. They are always campaigning.
Every US President is constantly campaigning. Not necessarily for his own re-election but to create public pressure on Congress to support his agenda, and then to get votes for his endorsed successor.
Many other countries have that. It’s like not giving you admin credentials before you contract start. But there’s no credential, the admin power comes from talking. And as a manager of managers, they has to restrain themselfes.
I have ideas and experience but no time. I will tell the intern what to code and he/she will code it up for me. Example:
I want a webpage with all youtube links posted to HN in last 24 hours.
He will make it for me

Another example. Go to all common crawl, identify all webpages related to NCSU, download images in them, run YOLO to remove human faces, run Falcon model to remove logos and see what comes up. Intern will code it up for me.
When FAANG was all the rage, I had a hard time getting feedback on my coding skills. So, I made a website where candidates can post their code and experiences folks can give their feedback.
It is just better to assume that ghosting is usual practice and any deviation is a welcome change. You, as a candidate, are trying to make a sale. Buyer has not obligation to get back to you, just like when you take a quote from someone for home repairs.
I don't always get back to people after I get a quote from them, no. I do agree it's the nice thing to do, I just tend to be terrible about contacting people (outside of my job or friends) in general. Chances are good I put off contacting someone just to get that quote for months or possibly even years already.
Sent you email with some details on volumetric particle cloud in blender and pythons to snake a harness to that mvp using cuda/other gpu signal tools...
