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.

#22Almost 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?

Re: Review my startup
#24I 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.
How did you overcome the "chicken and egg problem" of getting the first batch of people to join?

#27I 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.
