Wow, I had no idea this could be done! Since we are on the topic of code generation, I had a question. I built this joke script called Rockstar [0] which generates fake git commits resulting in fully green GitHub commit graph. In each commit it adds gibberish, in the last commit adds a valid code. I wanted to know if there’s an easy way to generate realistic looking code which I can use in each commit? I can’t expect users of the script to use OpenAI or any such API service. Something which can be used to generate code locally would be sweet! [0] - https://github.com/avinassh/rockstar
In Tell HN: A new way to use GPT-3 to generate code (and everything else)
Five years back, my Della [0] project got me hired. It was a Secret Santa app built using Django. They also noticed Rockstar [1], a joke project, and I wasn't expecting anyone to bring it up. However, they liked how I was managing the issues and pull requests. Also, I have two side projects which seem to get a lot of attention from other developers, and they have reached out to me to hire: - fast sqlite inserts [2] - I am experimenting with inserting one billion rows as quickly as possible for a test database - caskdb [3] - an educational project which teaches you to build a KV store from scratch [0] - https://github.com/avinassh/della [1] - https://github.com/avinassh/rockstar [2] - https://github.com/avinassh/fast-sqlite3-inserts [3] - https://github.com/avinassh/py-caskdb
In Ask HN: Which personal projects got you hired?
That would actually work [1] to certain extend but once you have to prove your real skills during a technical interview it will be clear that you are not a real Java developer unless, of course, you are. If you are a Java developer this tool will (probably?) have the effect that you suggest, to increase the probability of an ATS [2] to hit your online developer persona. I will actually try this because as people have mentioned before hiring is broken and this is either a way to exploit and/or bypass some of the inconveniences like coding challenges and the like used to filter non-programmers.

In Show HN: Java Bullshifier
If they have a project that they list on their resume that is also on their github, then take a quick look. Just enough to decide if you can ask them questions without getting their input first. Also, if they list a bunch of languages, but they don't have examples in those languages, then have questions about that. (there aren't very many polyglot shops) Remember, to become a rockstar cpp programmer https://github.com/avinassh/rockstar
