Talent teams face the challenging task of handling high-volume inbound channels, while maintaining an excellent candidate experience, and dedicating time to high-value recruiting activities.
So I'm working on Hirevire(https://hirevire.com/) to help automate the screening rounds so that talent teams can spend time interviewing only the best candidates.
Hi there! We published our book( https://softwareengineeringhandbook.com/ ) in May 2024, but getting visibility has been a challenge. We've posted on HN before and are currently using Amazon ads, but the results have been underwhelming so far. Any advice or strategies for improving our reach would be greatly appreciated!
I get the vibe of a "become a 10x developer from scratch and land a rock star job in a month" bootcamp. 2/3 of your audience are likely to have seen enough of this already to be turned off. Meanwhile, perhaps some more junior will be intimidated and say "not yet" by the supposed advanced level (the material is also targeting people 10-20 years ahead in their careers after all...)
If you write another book in the future, I'd suggest splitting it into a couple more focused ones, rather than trying to cover all these dimensions for all seniority levels at the same time.
But lately I took a break and worked on running (GPX run file analysis) and habit tracking. The eventual goal is to package it all together into one integrated PWA / mobile app.
I had surgery for a torn meniscus repair. I’m on the couch for a least another month. I’m using this precious expanded free time to compose music, my primary form of artistic expression. Software-wise, I’m on a platform team for a large company. I’m making some performance enhancements to our http client, and a plug-n-play library for app devs to easily integrate LLMs in their products.
Will probably try to self-host because why not.
Also doing my first Java based project since school; surprised how okay it's been going so far.
I’m working on a collaborative ebook reading app. The idea is that you can create a reading group, invite people and then share comments and highlights and see each other’s reading progress. It’s something I’ve been wanting for a while, for example to read a book with a group of friends or with a work team, but there’s lots of other possibilities including author reading parties, proofing and education. Got the basic…
feature idea- you can see the reading progress of everyone in the group to sort of apply some passive social pressure to catch up if you're behind
then again, not everyone might be willing to do this since the book club might not all be about actually reading the book for them
