Last time I was job hunting I accidentally turned on “Do Not Disturb” mode. For days, I got 0 email, call, message notifications nothing in my life was delayed or affected at all. 💀📱

what stop you from coding like this?

Change starts with motion. An interview isn’t a judgment — it’s a mirror that shows what the market sees in you. Walk in once, even nervously and you’re already stronger than yesterday. 💼✨

➡️got financial pressure stay where you are for now. Switching jobs too early usually means starting over at entry-level pay, which can hurt more. ➡️current job feels low-value or repetitive, keep it as your safety net but start exploring new skills or directions after hours. You don’t have to quit to make progress.

People don’t hate job hunting they’re just afraid of it. Afraid of rejection. Afraid of failure. Afraid that trying again will prove they’re “not good enough.” That fear doesn’t mean you’re not confident — it just means you really care. So maybe it’s time to reframe it:

Saw a new grad share that after sending 10,000 résumés, their interview rate was 1/150 (including screening calls). He said：I just need to apply to 30,000 next time. That’s a massive AI market. 😭 (Good thing we’ve got @finalroundai

@redtachyon I completely get your choice — deep down, we all want to do what feels right and meaningful, even if that meaning only makes sense to us.

Just submitted my resignation from Meta. Some might say that ~one year at the company is not that long, but I survived like three rounds of layoffs, so I think it’s fair play. For what it's worth, my team is great and it was an overall positive experience. But there are other, better places to build AGI, which hopefully won't be used for stepmom chatbots and infinite slop machines.

“Résumé polishing” doesn’t mean lying. It’s about describing your work more intelligently — seeing the logic beneath the surface. Don’t just say what you did explain what you learned and why it mattered. Not ：collected competitor data, but： understood how product strategies shift across stages, and learned to extract market insights from data. Not： designed event banners but： iterated fast enough to learn brand tone, audience rhythm, and conversion logic. Not：helped my mentor but： saw how ideas move from concept to execution in a real business. Most people stop at verbs like “assisted,” “participated,” “completed” those are records, not reflections. Great résumés read like reflections. They prove you can learn, adapt, and transfer knowledge. If you’re not sure how to “extract the essence” of your projects, try running a project debrief on @finalroundai guides you through Action → Impact → Value helps uncover results you didn’t even realize

@omoalhajaabiola why not try @finalroundai

If you're on the job hunt, please share what you're looking for (job title, industry, location, desired pay) and any links to your resume, website, or portfolio. I'd love to help by sharing this information with my network, which is hiring or will be hiring. The worst that can happen is that you add another twitter comment without much traction. The best case is connecting with someone who can introduce you to the perfect opportunity.

@H4mzaAhmed @UWaterloo the hardest part of this story isn’t the risk — it’s realizing there is another path, and having the courage to actually take it.

At the start of this year, I took the biggest risk of my life. I dropped out of @UWaterloo and moved to San Francisco without knowing a single person in the city. The first time I applied to YC, I got rejected. They told me to go do co-founder matching. I didn’t. Fast forward a few months Automax now powers thousands of property valuations every single month, we’ve raised over $1 million pre-seed from some amazing people at @AforeVC , @ycombinator , @alifdotbuild and are grinding through the F25 YC batch moving faster than ever. If you told Humza from 3 years ago this story I’d laugh out loud in your face. I was about to go into mechanical engineering, deadset to become an astronaut, all my focus on top internships, and not the faintest idea what a B2B AI SAAS even does. There is no better time to learn, to grow, and to take risks than your 20s. Worst case, you learn. Best case, it changes your life.

@Adityapandeydev People’s creativity under this topic is crazy I’m pretty sure it’s only a matter of time before someone goes bungee jumping while coding on a laptop. 💻🪂

What's stopping you from coding like this?

HR stopped replying again? Relax — it’s almost never about you. Here’s what’s actually going on behind the scenes: Before the interview: 1️⃣ Too many chats at once — forgot to reply. 2️⃣ Got pulled into urgent offline work. 3️⃣ Stuck in meetings or reports. 4️⃣ Read your message, meant to reply… then Slack happened. 5️⃣ Realized you don’t meet some hidden filter (age, degree, etc). 6️⃣…… After the interview: 1️⃣ Silent rejection (the classic). 2️⃣ Comparing multiple candidates — waiting to finish all rounds. 3️⃣ The hiring manager’s stuck deciding. 4️⃣ HC got reshuffled. 5️⃣ Their top pick hasn’t responded yet. 6️⃣ Someone else joined faster. 7️⃣ You’re on standby just in case that person quits. 8️⃣ The final decision-maker’s on vacation. In short: so many reasons, most not about you. So stop torturing yourself over it. Apply, follow up once, and move on 💼

@stemonteduro Clearly, some people never got the invite to this party lol

This is me scrolling through my feed

@oliverbrocato Good news ：we can finally stop saying “the next generation ruined it.” They’ve clearly broken that generational curse. 🔄✨

Bout to turn 24. Meanwhile the new generation is out here like: “I make $1M and I’m 17.” “I just scaled to 8figs, I’m 16.” “I built a SaaS in math class, I’m 14.” Bro when I was 14 I was trying to beat Clash of Clans. What is happening 💀

@austinxwalker Fake lesson: keep grinding on your startup until you make it. Real lesson: move to SF as soon as possible. 🌉💸

started my first company in canada, investors complained $1M CAD valuation was too high for a pre-product company started my second company in SF, closed pre-seed valuation at $10M USD relatively easily lesson: just move to SF bro

Hard to believe the two people running the world’s biggest social universes both look like AI-generated aliens. 👽

Every Monday I secretly hope that one of those X hypotheticals finally comes true ⬇️ “If you got $10M, what would you do?” “Dinner with Elon or $1M?” “High-paying offer or Stanford degree?” Just let one of them randomly cash out already. 😭💸
