I would like to apply for this software engineer job where all you do is press enter. I'm willing to work from home or go to the office everyday. I will press enter on holidays and weekends as well.

Will you accept a $20,000 a year salary without dental and vision?
Depends on how many times I need to hit enter during my 8 hour shift. If it's something like 200 times then yes. If you need something more like 7,200 enters pressed in an 8 hour shift then that would break down to 15 enters per minute which requires a little more dedication. I that event I would like to ask for $23,000 a year.
I would also like for the company to pay for any repairs or replacement of my Enter button in the event something stops working.
20.000 a year without hope or prospects.

They just need that fancy controller openAI made. Then it’ll be an approve button instead.
The guy is working at a shitty sweat shop and blame AI for his misery instead of moving his ass to another job.
Let's ask Claude to write an article about it.
One... use --dangerously... they asked for speed, thats how you get it. Two... if you have great tests, you don't really need to know every detail of the code. The risk just shifts from a dev designing bad code, to a dev designing bad tests.
I dunno I’ve seen too many times where Claude Code will just rewrite a test it doesn’t like and say it’s good. Combining that with —dangerously or —yolo is a recipe for disaster.
