#12What's with the hashtags inside a normal blog post? It's not like they're writing this on Twitter or anything, and the hashtags aren't clickable, so I wouldn't expect this to serve as SEO. I would guess one of two things: (1) they plan to post the same content to social media or (2) they've decided that people search hashtags in their search engines in general. I'd be interested if anybody has more insights into this…
Or (3) hashtags have become some intrinsic quality of writing by people whose minds have been entirely corrupted by social media junk

Same reason they have random emoji at the ends of each bullet point: it's an intentional forced-quirky vibe.
It has been a part of most major AI open source projects lately, for some reason: https://sigmoid.social/@minimaxir/110951886465291229

Appears the blogpost text is from a LinkedIn post (where the hashtags are clickable): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/zayarni_qdrant-summer-of-code...
Nothing more interesting than copy-paste I'm afraid

Yeah I think you’d take the GSoC so you could have qdrant and gsoc on your cv, but also many folk do need a job to pay bills, and even an “unknown” company paying bills and being experience on your CV is better than Walmart (in my case The Warehouse) [edit: s/Qurans/qdrant, sigh autocarrot]
How much are they paying? It is $current_year and at some point we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum. Are they even compliant with the law with this post?
I have no idea :-/

#16Who would spend even a minute for a unknown company called 'Qdrant' ? They would develop for Google because Google would give an additional value to their CV.
They recently raised a Series A: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39101682 Additionally, the product that this Summer of Code is for is open-source so it's a win-win for everyone.
I wonder if Google wants rights to what is developed in GSoC.
If so, that might explain the lack of invitation.

> we should demand that all job postings (this is a job posting) should come with salary ranges at a minimum
Agreed. Not even considering jobs that pay under 120k, not worth my time. The literal only reason to hide the range is so that you can lowball people

> ... unknown ...
This is a resounding instance of "tell me you don't know the domain without telling me you don't know the domain" and I think you'll find them interesting if you look into it.

This is an incredibly dumb comment that you should delete. Anyone even remotely aware of RAG, LLMs and vector databases has heard of Qdrant.
Re: We were not accepted into Google Summer of Code. So, we started our own
#20In general it seems that organizations that are accepted to the GSoC program are no-profit like associations, that develop a product for the sake of developing it, probably there are also exceptions. Anyway, it seems that qdrant is more a for-profit organization. So maybe that was the one of the criteria that was taken into account to exclude it? My understanding might be wrong/incomplete, please let me know if that'…
