AI Resume Builder Cookbook

I’ve had decent luck with free models with this method (openai and anthropic).

HINT: Turn web search off, it's not good for this unless you're famous. I get much better results copy-pasting the text I care about (resumes, linkedin content and such) directly into the chat, as opposed to attaching files, or worse, pasting links and asking for web search. Unlike when you paste things directly in the chat, file attachments and webpages are chunked and not all chunks make it to the model when responding to any given request.

You should be able to get from a solidly-written linkedin page or federal resume to a decent two pager in under an hour (still requires lots of human editing, show it to friends, etc...).

After that, you should be able to tailor your resume for a specific job description in just a few minutes.

I asked for book recommendations on the fediverse and oh my goodness got so many suggestions. I wanted to share the list of all that came up in case others want to dig into this stuff. I asked specifically for

naturalist writing a la Muir or Abbey but about Alaska (I picked up Arctic Dreams but want more)

time travel / multiverse stuff, like Sliding Doors etc

great heists, fiction or non-

fiction featuring non-traditional families (queer, poly, etc.)

fantasy with really weird or different systems of magic, like Max Gladstone's Craft series

So most of this is falls into one of these themes, but also some stuff doesn't. I made this list quickly and sloppily, please forgive mispellings, missing author names, etc. Here's the list, sorted first by most common recs then alpha by title.

How to unpack .wpress archive files created by the All-in-one-Wp-Migration Wordpress plugin

Recently I needed to download some files from a Wordpress installation where the client only gave me access to the admin dashboard. Fortunately the All-in-One WP Migration plugin was already installed, so I could take a quick backup of the whole site by downloading the installed plugins, theme and database. To my surprise downloading the backup from the All-in-One WP Migration plugin only gave me a single compressed migration.wpress file that any unpack tool refused to extract. A little web search brought me to a five year old tool called Wpress-Extractor but the provided binaries for MacOS refused to work because the package was already too old.

So I decided to rewrite this little helpful tool in Node.js to make it cross-platform compatible for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

Ok here it is: A simple 2-step tutorial how to extract a file with the .wpress extension on your computer:

The Terraform group_by you've been missing

I'm playing around a lot nowadays with Terraform 0.13 and I found a really interesting feature and that's the ... symbol (also called an ellipsis) to be used with for expressions.

The operator can be used for group_by operations.

Example

We have a list of entries. The list contains employee/manager/project triplets.
