I Automated My Job Hunt for Visa-Sponsored Roles with AI

Hey devs 👋🏼,

I got tired of endlessly scrolling LinkedIn, only to realize most jobs wouldn’t sponsor a visa. So I did what any developer would—I automated the pain away!

I built a simple AI tool that:

Finds companies officially able to sponsor visas (UK first, global later).
Automatically identifies their open roles every day.
Emails me a neat CSV so I can apply directly.

Thought some of you might relate or benefit from this too!

Feedback and thoughts welcome!

Happy coding 🚀

What if your browser actually helped you fill out forms—with your own data?

Hey devs 👋

I’ve been thinking about this small but super annoying problem:

We end up filling out forms all the time—job applications, vendor signups, internal onboarding, visa forms, event registrations, compliance docs—you name it.

Most of them ask for information we already have: name, address, job title, company description, bio, etc. But each form phrases it differently or uses different field layouts, so browser autofill barely works.

I was wondering...

What if there was a browser extension where you upload your own data once (like a JSON or spreadsheet), and it helps fill forms using your own context—not just your email and name?

It would:

Read the form
Match fields to your data intelligently (LLM-powered)
Suggest or auto-fill values with explanations (e.g., “Used company profile from your uploaded context”)
Stay local or private by default

Seems like it could save hours over time, especially for stuff like:

Repeated signups / partner forms
Government or legal paperwork
Freelance onboarding
Visa and travel forms

I’m not building anything yet—just curious if this is a problem others have too.

Questions:

Do you run into this kind of repetitive form-filling?
How do you usually deal with it?
Would you want something like this, or have you already solved it another way?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 🙌

Do you ever wish your pair programming sessions had a neutral third voice?

Hey devs 👋

Curious if others have experienced this:

During pair programming or team discussions, we often get into long debates about how to implement something. It starts with, “Should we do it this way or that way?” and suddenly we’re 40 minutes in, still discussing pros and cons.

Sometimes it feels like the loudest opinion wins—not necessarily the best one.

Lately, I’ve been wondering:

What if there was a way to have a neutral voice in the room—one that’s not emotionally invested, knows your codebase, understands business priorities, and can surface trade-offs objectively?

Like... an assistant that:

Knows when tech debt is okay vs. when it’s a red flag

Helps compare approaches in real-time

Keeps the discussion aligned to delivery goals

I’m not sure if this is something other teams run into or if it's just me overthinking things, but I'd love to hear:

Do you run into these kinds of debates?

How do you resolve them?

What do you wish existed to help?

No pitch, no tool—just genuinely curious how other devs think about this.
Appreciate any thoughts 🙏
