Um...some of these jobs... how the hell do you become a Pharmacist..without a college degree? I didn't know you could become a self-taught pharmacist...
I use mobile a lot. Voice to text very frequently.
Having conversations here, elsewhere, is not worth the same level of investment as other writing can be.
In casual conversation, content, the ideas, intent are primary. Those have very high value. Minor gaffes, grammar and other bits?
Near zero.
Not everyone can roll that way.
Oh well. I won't tell anyone what to do, but will suggest the idea of taking conversational writing differently than formal writing will yield dividends.
Has for me.
In this case, a greater cost is now present in the form of a meta discussion that does not add any real value otherwise.
Inefficient, and can be offputting.
I advise you to take care, and take it easy where you can. Bet your ass I am.
now if we can make hiring questions based on e.g. engineering or user experience and not "did you study CS?" or "can you remember algos?", maybe we can get somewhere towards building interesting and diverse teams instead of the usual overengineered codebase and underdeveloped everything else (processes, UX, accessibility, customer interactions, monitoring/metrics).
