    Great find. I noticed the photos disappeared yesterday, but didn't catch that footer reference change. Sadly, Ryan Hudson knows how to play the game and Pie (with its charming .org…

    Ryan Hudson, the founder of Honey, launched a new company that's already under scrutiny for similar practices: Pie.org (despite being for-profit). Founded in March 2024, it already…

    Looks nice, but I'm lost. What do the colors represent? What do the axes #s represent?

    Nice! Another method is to go straight to the company's job post - searching words like "posted", "published", and "created" in the source code.

    Based on their LinkedIn profiles (I found 6, 5 of which are Engineers): - Nobody went to an Ivy League school. - Ben and Anthony only joined Google by way of acquisition; they co-f…

    I loved your podcasts, Nick - as a tech recruiter with zero tech background, you really helped me better grasp what my clients/candidates actually do. Any plans to get back into it…
