What it does

Hiring is broken. Applications have tripled since 2021, many are AI-generated, and recruiters waste hours screening noise. FirstLook flips it. Candidates answer one short skills question first, and you see the work before the CV. Behavioural signals - time spent, edit patterns, revision depth - show who genuinely engaged with the task. AI doesn’t judge talent. FirstLook surfaces talent. Free tier, no card.

Stop drowning in AI-generated applications. FirstLook lets you see what candidates can actually do with authenticity signals that reveal genuine engagement. Start free, upgrade anytime.

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
