Hi, I get the feeling! We made the decision based on a couple of reasons though:
1. we get a ton of LLM-written applications, this enables us to at least get a feel of the person
2. we are a video creation product, this is an opportunity for the Product Owner to actually touch the product and decide if they want to work on it
3. we are live on Zoom with customers twice a month to launch new features, talk through the roadmap, take feature requests, etc. If the Product Owner (who is expected to take on this role over time) is against the idea of being visible on video themselves, they might just not be a match for this product and company.
You didn't mention the city name. There's several Kohlstraße in Germany but only one Köhlstraße it seems, that would be in Cologne (Köln). Suburb is Ossendorf, District (Bezirk) is Ehrenfeld and if any form asks for a Bezirksnumber, it's 4.
I'm not familiar in this legal area. You'll need at least somebody to translate the documents. I know one (well, a German resident) can do everything themselves for very low cost, I think 30 Euro. That's what contractors in Germany do when their bills are not paid.
Basically you tell the local court your demand, the court will notify the company and if they don't pay then the court will find ways to get the money. All the way to literally send somebody to their office and take their printer, office chair or company car and sell it. That part of justice is sweet (and funny) but usually it's letters send back and forth.
As an Engineering Manager, you’ll join our quickly growing Technology organization, spanning engineering and data science, reporting to the Director of Technology, and be responsible for attracting great people, helping your software engineers grow and develop, your teams continuously improve and ship great code, and the company identify and prioritize the right work, all coming together to make the lives of real teachers, students, and principals better.
The bar is passed to make sure that the student knows his stuff and laws, I don't think that applies to an AI that has every legal book in its database. But I do agree that jurys would be a big problem that can be solved by using it in small claims court where there's no jury, and as far as not being able to sue it, you can sue the company that created it!
Unfortunately FP jobs seem to be niche and extremely location dependent. Python and Javascript are winning the market, FP had a slight increase in interest but sadly fading, job wise anyway.
I say this as someone who didn’t know much FP 8 years ago, invested a bunch of time learning, picked up a few good jobs using it but now cannot get hired due to no FP specific work in AU and non FP roles seeing 8 years of FP get a bit weary, despite a decade of Java, Python, PHP etc before my FP roles.
ELM is a great Trojan horse into learning FP if you want to learn FP though.
I'm prepared to spoend the first few months studying and catching up for hours after work. I'm just concerned they won't give me enough time to adjust.
Adjusting to a new company takes time. Most reasonable managers understand that - I hope yours is. Just out of curiosity, what is the tech stack/language?
