In the case of companies that have many open positions (Microsoft, etc.), I'm not sure how many of the positions to apply for. Currently I'm only applying for one at a time.

Background: I'm job searching (Senior SWE) and not getting traction anywhere -- not even getting automated rejection emails when positions are filled. Maybe I'm getting flagged as a bot? Not sure. I'm a generalist (frontend, backend, SRE, lots of languages) which is a blessing and a curse: many of the positions could be a good fit, but I'm not a perfect fit for any particular one.

In the playful spirit of leet speak where "41" stands for "AI," I propose we consider standardizing TCP port 41 as the default for AI services across the internet. This idea started as a fun experiment when I began deploying my chatbot on this port, but it sparked some thoughts on the broader applicability and benefits.

Why Port 41 for AI?

Memorability and Symbolism: Just as port 80 is known for HTTP, associating port 41 with AI could create a memorable link, making it easier for developers and users to remember and adopt.

Standardization Benefits: With the proliferation of AI services, having a designated port could simplify network configurations, firewall rules, and security protocols, making it easier to deploy and manage AI applications consistently.

Technical and Practical Considerations:

There is the need to consider the technical feasibility of reserving a low-numbered port for such a specific use. This includes potential conflicts with existing systems that might already use port 41.

Security Implications: Standardizing a port for AI services might make it a target for malicious activities. It would be crucial to analyze and implement enhanced security measures to protect services running on this port, but this can simplify the creation of tools like browser extension, that interfaces directly with an AI for a "site" (intentionally vague definition of a place on the internet)

Adoption and Support: For such a standard to be effective, it would require broad support from both the tech community and standards organizations. This would involve discussions, agreements, and possibly formal proposals to bodies like IANA.

I would like to hear the community’s thoughts on this proposal. Do you see this as a viable standardization? What challenges and opportunities might this present for the future of AI service deployment?

I was just thinking about an old Simpsons joke where Martin is excited to get the “systems analyst” job for career day.

I remember hearing about that job title in school and it was always described as a really good job for technically minded people but was never really clear what they did. And now I never hear about it as a career so I’m curious what happened.

Did it evolve something else (system architect, UX)? did it just disappear as software/tech changed? Or is it actually thriving and I’m just in a bubble?
