This looks like a crowdsourced curation of content relevant to a particular vertical (have I thrown in enough buzzwords?). That actually seems like a reasonable idea. The problem you may have is that a site like Stackoverflow could (and IMHO should) copy it and integrate it into what they have. It actually seems like a good extension for the SO model.
Almost forgot to mention the most important aspect, the site is invite-only. It's read-only to the public.
This becomes confusing - it seems at first like a social bookmarking site, but then there's resumes. It's a gated community, but read only to the public. I'm not sure any of this is BAD, and I may just be stupid, but the 'why the hell should I care' bit seems to be confusing? Is it a job board, or a news/content sharing site? Both?
What are your experience with ruby on rails hosted with heroku?
I launched the site in late Oct of last year and it is growing by leaps and bounds. It's built with Ruby on Rails. My hope is to build a community around sharing links strictly related to development and design. No general tech news links or other distractions. I'd love to get some feedback on it from the HN community.

I like the design. The functionality reminds me of hackerbuddy.com. What are your experience with ruby on rails hosted with heroku?

That's quite a torrent. How about best-of-hour and best-of-day feeds? Each would get just one new post every interval, which makes for predictable volume in my feedreader.
