@shayanshafii Hi Shayan. I just submitted my application for the Software Engineer role. I don't have a common connection but just wanted to let you know. If you have some time, please check this short video of one of my projects:

Another update: I received ~1,000 inbound messages and interviewed ~100 people in the last 6 weeks. We extended 2 offers, which perhaps not-so-coincidentally, were to people already referred to me by my network. So, new challenge: If you're interested in joining, find a warm introduction to me. If we extend an offer, I'll give 100% of the referral bonus to the mutual friend. Good luck.

Update on this: ~300 people reached out and I interviewed ~30 in the last 4 days. Some learnings: 1) Cold outreach works. 2) No need to send a whole essay - most of the time what you're currently working on / a recent thing you executed is enough to warrant a conversation. If you feel the need to type 1,000 words it's bc you know you're trying to do something that doesn't make obvious sense. 3) People are nervous - you have to try and see through that to see the best in a person even when they're struggling to show it. 4) Most interviews don't need to be longer than 15 min. In fact I would argue that you can get to the fabric of a person in 10 min. 5) I only ask one question, which is to tell me about all of your major life decisions and why you made them. I like when people recount these stories with a quiet sense of pride. 6) I think the good people know that they're good, and the bad people actually know that they're bad. The role of the interviewer is to calmly guide the conversation to a place where both folks discover the truth together. By the end of the conversation, the good people should feel seen, and the bad people should actually feel exposed.

Everyone swore AI would wipe out junior developers. But the new March data just dropped and entry-level engineering jobs are actually up massively. Turns out companies still need humans to fix the generated spaghetti code.

We spend more time arguing about what language to use than actually building things people want.

Trying to keep up with tech news right now is honestly exhausting. A completely groundbreaking model drops on Tuesday and by Thursday everyone acts like it is old news.

The funniest thing about the tech world is watching everyone declare a new framework dead before it even hits version one.
