Who is your current customer base? Why don't you go after more of them?

JIRA gets multiple mentions in this list. Does anyone still think that there's room for another dev tracking tool especially after how Linear has dominated adoption by startups?

It's a crapshoot. I really think there's room for a new, smaller platform for software gigs that doesn't become a race to the bottom.

Have you ever not interviewed a candidate presented by a recruiter? Has a candidate presented by a recruiter never been a dud? Most recruiters I have worked with aren't able to ass…

It won't be easier but pays some $ while finding a job + sometimes these freelance things can turn into a job.

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback. The chicken and egg is real. My plan to counter that is to only focus on the dev side first and find leads for them by brute force, i.e., initi…

> job market for devs is on the down low and I think I will work on my idea later meaning you think a new platform will have a hard time finding traction right now because there's …

My email is in my bio :)

Have you considered freelancing in the interim?

Why are you not freelancing in the interim?

> Working with individual clients is worse than my day job I can fully relate to this. For this reason, I generally prefer to work with just one "primary" client at a time. Doing a…

my email is in my bio. Would you mind sending me a quick note?

> who can find a contractor work for me Not sure I understood this. Meaning someone who can find contract work for you? Or find you a dev?

Could I message you in a few days to run this by you? My email is in my bio.

Do you freelance now? And when you're looking for a job, how do you go about it? (recruiters?)

Fair criticism. But the part I'm not understanding is that you seem imply that recruiters are better at selection/vetting than a directory or platform that's run by experienced eng…

How does it find you? Do you have a large network? Do you keep getting referrals/opportunities from former employers or clients?

Your feedback is valid but looking at your bio, it's specific to your context. I think you're way overqualified for most platforms/directories. It makes sense that you're represent…

Experience can be assessed by asking for LinkedIn/website/resume and checking that. This will probably suffice for the 90%. It's not going to be foolproof. Just because someone has…

That sounds like a pretty cynical view. There are thousands of companies (non faang) that don't do leetcode. Why do you not see it not working?

Two ways this can be countered: 1. anon by default 2. double opt in. Your details won't be available to anyone that you haven't given access to.

It would likely be anon with a double opt in for intro.

can you say more? what's so hard about your current experience? what will prevent you from listing yourself on a directory like I proposed?

I'm contemplating building a directory where * experienced* (this is key) devs and leads can list themselves so opportunities can find them. What opportunities? Freelance/consultin…

I thought I'd seen it all. Who tracks things like partners and locations and rates partners like this? Amazing that you figured out this niche though.
