Also checkout https://jsonresume.org/ not my project but also amazing work

I still maintain the project, currently rebuilding a lot of the infrastructure. Ive been having fun integrating AI stuff into it. Going to polish them more soon. https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/jobs https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/interview https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.letter https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.suggest <- Resume Suggestions (it asks ChatGPT to give preci…

Nice, using a language model AI is the perfect tool to simulate interviews and generate cover letters. Good stuff.

I wonder how many companies actually use LLMs for what they're good at instead of jumping onto the AI hype with random use-cases where anything is possible.

This is really awesome, great work. Some feedback: Your parser wasn't able to properly parse out my education from the resume I just made from your own builder (PDF'd). It's just blank, and my education is showing up as a company. Also, it doesn't seem to show multiple pages in the preview (of the builder).

Yes, when hiring I do discriminate against candidates with bad skills. Reading and writing, communication in written form is a critical skill for a software developer, more important than even coding skills (btw, I'm yet to see a person who can code and can't write, or even hear about such person). It is irrelevant, what is the reason for the lack of skill - innate disability or low intelligence - if you can't clearl…

As I mentioned in the comment below, this is the first excuse for such discrimination, as most of the times they do properly communicate and can effectively communicate the idea, but it’s the covert way of discriminating them. One of the examples I witnessed, someone was from Singapore -and in Singapore just like a lot of other countries, English IS native, i.e. taught early in life- but they do have a thick accents,…

> That’s a poor analogy, you do have the tools to properly and easily compensate such linguistic disability, as easy as having someone double checking their writing or having one of these new AI spell check tools, etc.

If the hypothetical person in question had such tools, then we would not see their "handicap" right? So the discrimination would not have occurred...

The observation that stupidity and incompetence is more common than malice (by many degrees) is correct. It's not a true logical dichotomy, it's just a saying.

The saying presents it as a dichotomy, which is why the saying is wrong. It is also parroted way too often on HN. It might as well be, "Never attribute to hunger that which can be explained by incompetence." Is it easier to see why that fails as any sort of useful proverb?

It is not a dichotomy, as the saying doesn't say "it must be either malice or stupidity" - it only proposes to also keep supidity in mind in case malice is assumed. Nobody is saying there can't be a third cause - you're fighting a strawman. Besides, what third reason would be relevant in this case, exactly?

Looks good, definitely an impressive "weekend project". I'll probably use it in the future. I don't mean to sound rude. But, can you explain what you mean by "trusted by students and employees from top universities and companies worldwide" while showing some university/company logos? How can such a new project make those claims? Was it released elsewhere privately? Looking at the git history, I see it was created 2 d…

He could have just sent it to a few friends at those universities/companies. Nobody should take those sorts of 'trusted by' sections seriously anyway.

Real question: How much do you think young start-ups pay majors to add their name to the 'trusted by' sections? For me, it feels like paid adverts in search results. I always ignore/discount them. That said, 'trusted by' sections are targeting The Suits (CTOs, etc.), not hands-on folks like me.
