Really loving devRant unofficial.

The avatars items can be updated via the secret api, without an app update

@JS96 seems to be the only person who knows this api (3rd party) since there is a black raven in UWP avatar editor.

@Skayo searching for the api...

@Floydian thanking @trogus

@dfox staying quiet

devRant being an avatar fam.

I’m trying to update a job posting so that it’s not complete BS and deters juniors from applying... but honestly this is so tough... no wonder these posting get so much bs in them...

Maybe devRant community can help be tackle this conundrum.

I am looking for a junior ml engineer. Basically somebody I can offload a bunch of easy menial tasks like “helping data scientists debug their docker containers”, “integrating with 3rd party REST APIs some of our models for governance”, “extend/debug our ci”, “write some preprocessing functions for raw data”. I’m not expecting the person to know any of the tech we are using, but they should at least be competent enough to google what “docker is” or how GitHub actions work. I’ll be reviewing their work anyhow. Also the person should be able to speak to data scientists on topics relating to accuracy metrics and mode inputs/outputs (not so much the deep-end of how the models work).

In my opinion i need either a “mathy person who loves to code” (like me) or a “techy person who’s interested in data science”.

What do you think is a reasonable request for credentials/experience?

What does devrant think about custom IDs?

Instead of:
- "d2ac9db1-3222-4e99-97cb-e14fb4240f43"

Something like this:
- "user-d2ac9db1-3222-4e99-97cb-e14fb4240f43"
- "document-34ea29ce-6022-40d4-821d-95b240633ba9"

They can be saved as binary in DB (like in the old days before native UUID support), have basic protection against being confused with IDs of another prefix and are pretty much self-documenting (better debugging/logging experience).

Plus, every ID would have their own value object (increased type safety) and if required, prefix can be omitted for 3rd party systems.

I think, it would be well worth it... 🤔
