It's beyond me how two ex-Google engineers and graduates of top CS programs with 2 years on their hands end up creating a resume generator that a CS freshman could have written in their free time! Not putting you down or anything, sometimes unexpected random things jam your workflow (like unfamiliarity with front end design), etc.
- cvhashim 6y agoActually only one of them was a Google engineer. The other guy was an analyst at Chegg. But you’re right. The platform doesn’t seem that...special. But credit to them, they’ve done well advertising the platform and building networks.

It took me 2 hours and about 200 combined lines of Python, HTML and CSS. While I wish the author the best of luck, I’m not sure resume builders for developers are a hot market.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoThere are qualitative differences in resumes. If they can sell theirs as giving you higher chances of success, that's worth something.

- doteka 6y agoI’ve been involved in hiring since my very first dev job - not sure I’d trust a random resume builder more than my experience sifting through 100s of them. But I guess there may be some small market here.
