Please don't spam people looking for employment. It's just cruel
Earlier I posted in a “Who wants to be hired?” thread, looking for a place where I could apply my experience in hospitality, food tech and automation. A couple hours later I received an email: “Hi Ilia, I saw your comment on the June Who’s Hiring thread. I build production-ready TypeScript and Python systems that integrate LLMs into real workflows, with particular focus on RAG, agent orchestration, and clear blah-blah-blah” Come on. I am a forced immigrant with a wife, a cat, rent and crushing debt, who’s been unemployed for 6 months. I am naturally an extremely optimistic person, but boy is energy on the low by now. And every e-mail in my inbox, especially one starting with something related to my job search, is a glimmer of hope. Just to be crushed by what comes next. Yes, it’s a minor cut, but those compound. Please just don’t do this. Maybe add a skill to your Claude Code called “empathy”? You can have your Claw access a “be considerate of other people’s experiences” MCP server! Or just ask your “Daily Grind Reminder” Telegram bot to recommend a good book of fiction from time to time. Just to develop some humanity. Sorry for venting. Comments URL: Points: 286 # Comments: 56

What It Takes to Run One of London's Most Popular Pubs | Odd Lots
Restaurants are great microcosms for macro-economic trends. They sit at the intersection of everything from consumer confidence to commodity costs to the labor market. According to the British Beer and Pub Association, approximately two pubs a day have closed in England during the first quarter of 2026. Could pubs tell us something about larger trends in the British economy? We talk to Oisin Rogers and Ashley Palmer-Watts, co-founders of The Devonshire, a famed London pub, top find out. Rogers, the publican, discusses the difference between a good and bad pub, why he hates the word 'gastropub,' and how the indoor smoking ban changed the meaning of pubs for the average Londoner. In a segment from our London live show, chef Palmer-Watts, details the factors that lead to a perfect pint of Guinness, why higher ingredient costs does not always correlate to higher menu prices, and about making a Victorian-era meat fruit for Apple's Jony Ive.
