About this episode

In this very special (and very chaotic) holiday episode, AJ went full Roarke-level genius and built a working White Elephant Exchange game from scratch (with the help of ChatGPT and possibly a little magic).

Here’s what you’re in for:

  • A real-time virtual White Elephant exchange featuring 34(!) of your favorite In Death characters.

  • Hilarious chaos as characters like Mira, Roarke, Peabody, Baxter, and Crack open or steal gifts like pizza scissors, lava lamps, chocolate fondue sets, and the most cursed liqueur in the galaxy: Malört.

  • Roarke gets a Mini Inflatable Tube Man. It’s art. No one steals it. We’re all shocked.

  • Dickie loves the Malört. Everyone else is grateful.

  • Summerset’s secret hobby may or may not be bonsai tree gardening.

  • Peabody steals with no remorse. Baxter gets stuck with a Chia Pet. Whitney gets a hot dog toaster. Eve gets popcorn. All is right with the world.

  • Shelby and Mira get stolen from approximately 83 times each.

  • AJ and Tara cackle throughout the whole thing. A LOT.

There’s laughter, betrayal, sparkly syrup, and the most on-brand gifts ever.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
