    I had an idea a couple days ago and I went with it. Basically, the idea was to create an IRC channel to help people find jobs; computer related jobs, in particular. There would be a bot to display job listings. So I started working on a first take on the bot. I decided to use Python because I love the language and I wanted to get more experience with a its libraries. TwitterBot (or JobFeeder on ##jobfeed) as I call it, uses Twisted (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted) and Twitter (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter)for now. Basically, it gets the…

    Wrote a proof of concept script for searching for jobs by copy pasting your resume. It looks for jobs posted on Hacker News Who’s Hiring from the past 3 months: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/12wt7cjhIUKf1Vu2rRFO... To use it, click Runtime > Run All. Wait about 5 minutes, then once everything is done, go to the bottom most cell and you can change the query variable from my resume to yours, and then re-run the cell. Largely written by GPT-4 and copy pasting documentation, with some minor tweaking.

    (not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…

    As a software engineer, my reflex has always been to script everything I can. Scripting is easy, but everything around it is tricky: scripts have to run somewhere, they need access to credentials, they need to be monitored. None of it is simple. No-code automation platforms such as Zapier or IFTTT are too restrictive for technical tasks; CI/CD platforms make it easy to script tasks related to a repository, but are limited when trying to do anything else. I wanted the low level control you have when writing scripts while retaining the comfort of a platform managing execution for me. So I…

    Hi HN! ChatGPT API was just released and I'm eager to hack something with it. So I created PracticeInterview.co to help people practice for their next job interview. ChatGPT acts as the interviewer and you can choose to interview for various roles such as Finance Manager, Social Media Manager, and Software Engineer. I think this is a cool implementation of ChatGPT and the interview sessions so far has been pretty coherent. Please give it a try! It's free, no logins required, and your interview session is saved so you can comeback to it later. Since it's an MVP, I would welcome all feedback.…

    In my spare time to remind myself that I could actually build stuff (and learn some Python, Flask, Redis, etc) I put together a simple job board to feature the best jobs in the API industry. The jobs can be either building APIs at companies like Twilio, Box, Stripe, etc. or integrating them. In addition to featuring those jobs, I'm also aggregating API jobs from GitHub Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers 2.0, and 37signals Job Board. Today I launched with what I would consider an 'MVP' with jobs from SendGrid, TokBox, Twilio, Zencoder, Parse, Stripe, Pusher and Box. Check it out, I'd love to know…

    Hello! I got tired of filling out applications so I built a bot to do it for me. I decided it would probably be useful to everyone else looking for a job in this hellish market, so I built a site that applies to jobs for you, completely automatically. It took me about three months to build and I'm pretty proud of how smoothly it works. You can: Click the "Auto Apply" button next to postings in the search results and keep scrolling. It'll get added to a queue and processed within 2-5 minutes Click the Zero-Click toggle in the top right of a search and it will automatically apply day and night…

    After years of solo ventures, failed startups, contract gigs, and countless OSS contributions, I've decided to shake up my job search. Instead of the usual LinkedIn grin, CV spam & endless forms, I'm leveraging my GitHub cred to flip the script on hiring. I've created a "Hire Me" GitHub issue template where companies can "apply" to employ me. It's like a reverse job application, and here's why it's cool: 1. Cuts through the noise: Most dev's GH profile speaks louder than resume. 2. Saves time: No more filling out repetitive forms or tailoring CVs. 3. Transparency: All offers are public by…

    Read an article about analyzing Garmin data with AI. Sounded great — except I didn't want to send my health data to any cloud service. So I asked Claude to write me 2-3 scripts and a dashboard. This escalated a bit. 30 days and 20$ later I have this: A local-first Garmin archive with interactive HTML dashboards, Excel exports, weather and pollen context, AES-256 encrypted token storage, and a self-healing data pipeline with 515 automated tests. Windows desktop app, no terminal needed. Nothing leaves your machine. I never wrote a line of Python. I understood the problems and made the…

    Hey HN, I wanted to share an open source plugin + skills I put together that turn Claude Code into a job search assistant. The goal is to minimize the amount of time needed to find interesting and relevant jobs. How it works: 1. Clone the repo, install the plugin, and run `/job-search` 2. Claude will ask a few questions to understand the roles you’re interested in and save your preferences locally. 3. Claude will then pull live job postings (currently, LinkedIn Jobs), compare posts against your preferences, and generate a digest of the posts that are relevant. 4. [Optionally] Claude…

    Searching for job roles in tech? I've been there. For six months, I was stuck in the LinkedIn job application loop, getting nowhere. It was soul-crushing. I started to wonder if I was just a bad developer. But I changed my modus operandi and started reaching out to founders building super cool startups that got recently funded but didnt have the chance to post online yet that they are hiring, the response rate was much more significant and I wwas having super cool convos! This approach was so effective, I turned it into a product. I've tapped into premium data sources (we're talking $25K+…
