- Hiring will never be the same
Hiring will never be the same
AI is quietly stress-testing both sides of the hiring process, from the candidates applying to the managers screening them. This week Part 3 of our State of Tech and AI Jobs series looks at a rapidly shifting dynamic and who comes out ahead. We're also rethinking multi-agent systems with Wayan, who makes a counterintuitive case for the one agent most demos leave out, tracking down a stubborn 10 gigabit bottleneck with iPerf3, and meeting LocalSend, the open source AirDrop alternative that finally works across Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS.
On the podcast, a quantum algorithm developer cuts through the hype to explain what quantum computing is actually good for right now, and why she refuses to let buzz in any field scare her off. This is edition #81 of the We ❤️ Open Source newsletter. Made and curated by Jason & Todd.🙂
This week we'll look at...
Meet the Partner
Meet our partners at Randstad Digital Powered by Torc. Over the next few months, they’ll be showing up across the Triangle to meet local technologists, support the community, and help more people find their next opportunity in tech.

 | Tired of emailing yourself files just to get them from one device to another? LocalSend is an open source, cross-platform tool that transfers files, folders, and text between Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS devices on the same network. No cloud, no email, no hassle. WHY WE ❤️ IT: An AirDrop alternative that actually works across Linux, Mac, Windows. |
 | A deepfake candidate successfully fooled an interviewer and showed up as someone completely different on day one. That's just one way AI is stress-testing the hiring process. Part 3 of The State of Tech and AI Jobs series looks at both sides of a rapidly shifting dynamic. WHY WE ❤️ IT: The arms race between AI applicants and AI hiring managers is real. Someone has to win. |
 | Slow file transfers got you stumped? Learn Linux TV breaks down iPerf3, a lightweight command-line tool that measures real bandwidth between two machines. Watch Jay track down a stubborn 10 gigabit bottleneck, learn the flags that matter most, and pick up a repeatable process for network troubleshooting. WHY WE ❤️ IT: Because "just restart it" isn't troubleshooting, and this tutorial shows you how to get started with iPerf3. |
What's in your technology toolbox?
Most multi-agent demos throw dozens of agents at a codebase and report the finish time. Wayan built two systems that do something different: produce a record of disagreement you can inspect before deciding. Four rules, two real systems, and one reason the stopper matters more than the generator.
WHY WE ❤️ IT: The stopper agent kills half the story ideas. Wayan says that's the whole point.
From the We ❤️ Open Source Podcast
 | Every conversation about quantum computing eventually turns into a conversation about encryption. A quantum algorithm developer breaks down what's actually real right now, what quantum has to do with space and cybersecurity, and why she refuses to let hype, in any field, scare her off. WHY WE ❤️ IT: She's spent her career proving hype wrong, one hard question about quantum at a time. |
