Has AI Already Replaced Me or Do I Still Have a Chance?

This week I started looking for a job again as a .NET developer. Since the pandemic I didn’t really need to look for one, even though I occasionally did some interviews, but now I’m unemployed and needing it.

So I decided to show how this process has been and talk about my feelings during this search.

This was the first week and I’m still pretty excited even though I didn’t have much success. I applied to 20 positions, got 1 referral from a friend, however the company contacted me but they didn’t have a position that matched my profile. Still, I felt very grateful to know I can count on friends that recommend me and trust my work.

The other applications were through LinkedIn. I only got 1 response so far, however I was rejected right away. The recruiter said that because I don’t live in the big capital city of my country, which by the way is Brazil, it would be complicated to send the equipment, so they decided to move on with other devs.

Since I’m still used to the pandemic treatment where this would be just a minor detail and companies would even send equipment to another country to hire a developer, this makes me think there are many developers in the market right now. Especially because there wasn’t really an explanation, I had to keep asking if she was ending my application process because I live in the countryside, and she was brief: “It would be more complicated to send the equipment where you live.”

After that I got no more responses and accepted it as the end of the process.

And thinking about how these next weeks will be, with so many things in my head, I decided to write these reports to clear my mind. I also signed up for a Gemini 4 meetup, Google’s AI, to have something to do and dive deeper into AI, after all I can’t stay out of it, right?

Zoio de lula no VScode

Você está procurando um assistente para formatar e ficar de "zóio" no seu XAML, criei Zoio de lula para te ajudar nisso, ela e grátis e de código aberto.

Eu atualmente estou testando escrever meu app em MAUI no Vscode e entre um tab aqui um enter lá, resolvi criar uma extensão para ajudar na rapidez quando fosse hora de formatar o código.

E como ele funciona atualmente, quando o VScode identifica um arquivo XAML ele entra em ação e permite que você formate um código escrito corretamente, com as devidas tags abertas e fechadas.

E nessa primeira versão ele conta com as seguintes configurações.

número de atributos por linha
Posicione todos os atributos na primeira linha
Coloque o primeiro atributo na primeira linha
Remover atributos "xmlns:" não utilizados
Se não houver nós filhos, então tag de fechamento automático />

E na pratica ela funciona assim:

Muito obrigado!
