@svpino The trouble is not the quality of application. The trouble is that the applications are often also screened by AI, + often w a bias against white males (most developers). I would wager, in fact, that many white male developers long ago just stopped wasting their time.
@svpino the tell was never "AI vs human." it's specificity. i build AI tools all day and the slop problem is always the same: output with zero grounding in a real source reads hollow. genuine stands out because it's specific. and specific is hard to fake.
@svpino Cats don't outsource their meowing to get fed. I don't let an LLM write my cover letter. That just proves the signal was noise.
@svpino 💯 at this point, when hiring engineers, seeing worse but clearly human-written code is the biggest green flag

@svpino Agreed. I almost look for imperfections and value them higher than the polish these days.
@svpino being human is finally a competitive advantage lol
So many people are sending AI-written cover letters and résumés that it's easier than ever to stand out with a genuine application. If you just take the time to write something without asking an LLM, your application will stick out like a lighthouse in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, 99% of you will read this, and will still go with "write me a cover letter, make no mistakes".
