Thats fine, but if you want to stand out, something about you needs to be exceptional. You need to demonstrate a history of being driven
The easiest ways to stand out are:
1. top company
2. top school
3. shipped something, in public
consider the what the average SWE's resume looks like, and how yours stacks up against it

[dev-log]: Looks Like I need to fix some records in @vercel 😬

[dev-log]: We're having a problem with our magic link emails sending OTP (one-time-passcodes) to users spam folders. We are using Brevo for our email marketing, but somehow the emails that contain OTPs are being flagged by all mail clients. So I'm going to use @resend.

@DMARCflow @resend I’m going to check. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@saschamars @resend OTP spam filter hits are brutal. Usually Brevo's sending domain isn't authed properly on your end. Did you add their SPF/DKIM records to your domain DNS? That's the common culprit with transactional mail getting flagged.

@neciudan Ah~~~makes sense. I’ll be looking forward to the write up 😅. I’m trying to propose gamification at my company and convince everyone the costs of pivoting could be net positive not only in metrics but the experience for the users.
English

@saschamars I dont have anything published yet! But let me write something up! We had an early signal from analytics. Users were not reaching the aha moment as it was far along in the funnel so we gamified the experience so the users always knew next steps in the app

@neciudan I recently watched your talk on "How Not To Use TanStack Query" (great talk btw).
I have a few questions:
- Do you have anything published on your approach to gamification?
- Was the choice of gamifiying your CRM Platform an early signal from analytics or a pivot?

I wish I can swap my team and personal account on the fly in @cursor_ai

@ryolu_ it’ll be nice if we can undock windows so we can have more real estate

@WHOOP just filed a lawsuit against us.
A $10B company with 800+ employees is scared of us, a 20-person team making health tracking accessible to all.
Rather than focusing on product and innovation, Whoop has decided to use its newly raised capital on lawfare.
In this video, I share our side of the story, explain why their claims are baseless, and why we believe fighting back is the right thing to do.
