Interesting, it even uses the clippy emoji for resumes!

I think OP is reading into it too much , it seems like a minor embellishment and I never personally correlated emojis with LLMs.

Yup, the association with LLMs is a bit odd, since there's emojis everywhere in mainstream digital comunication way before the big hit of the ai stuff.

Without seeing how it looked before I think this just gives a little bit more of clue about what each category is about. They are still being used sparsely.

The only thing where it irks me to find emojis is in cli apps. They use to not be the same character width as the monofont I use so they either look chopped or they displace their nearing text.

I wouldn't find it remarkable anywhere else, but Craigslist has built a reputation on not doing this kind of thing.

I wouldn't say so.

I would say it's actually exactly the kind of thing they would do - stick with plain text over things that load slower like images.

Emojis are great for that, they're plain unicode text!

So, why now? Emojis have existed for a while, haven't they? Whereas Craigslist has been using images up until now (at least for the top nav items).

		Craigslist has stayed very small in employee count, so I imagine someone was playing around with it and the team just agreed that they liked it.
