Set Up a Job Search Bot That Shortlists Roles Every Morning (and Never Invents Experience)

Job hunting is mostly reading. Scrolling boards, opening postings that turn out to be wrong, rewriting the same CV bullets for the tenth time, forgetting to follow up. That reading is exactly what an always-on AI assistant is good at. The part you should not hand over is judgment: which jobs you want, what's true about you, and the click on "Submit". This post shows a setup for Grok Bot that…

An always-on AI assistant can streamline the job search process, but judgment regarding job preferences, personal qualifications, and submitting applications should remain the responsibility of the job seeker.

Isolation levels with simple examples

Your application reads that a product costs €100. Before the transaction is completed, an administrator tries to change the price to €120.

  • ReadCommitted shows changes only after commit, e.g., 100€ seen as 120€
  • ReadUncommitted allows technical reads before changes are applied, e.g., 100€ may change
  • RepeatableRead protects read rows; a price change won't affect the 100€ view

React useState Hook – How React Updates the UI

When I started learning React, I had a small doubt. Why doesn't React update the UI when I change a normal JavaScript variable?

  • useState Hook enables React to update UI when data changes
