Set up a small open-source GitHub repo to showcase your skills, and ask people in your network to give it some stars for added credibility. If you’re not sure what to build, you could create a simple RAG bot using Claude and feed it your resume — that way, employers can literally chat with your “digital twin” and learn about your experience through an AI agent you built yourself. At least thats what I did lLet me know if you need the source code :)
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoYou aren’t being serious are you? If a company wants to know you can operate at scale - putting source code out on GitHub that you did as a hobby project is just the oposite.
- arabello 1y agoI'm having the same thoughts. It's okay to have a couple of small side projects on the resume (I do), but for showing off real skills you would need a complete product which basically means starting your own business, at least in terms of time and effort
- raw_anon_1111 1y agoThat still doesn’t show operating at scale - unless the business gains a lot of users.
- qrist0ph 1y agoIt shows that you understand the fundamental concepts required for scaling in the first place
- raw_anon_1111 1y ago“Understanding” really doesn’t mean much without experience with actually working at scale.
- qrist0ph 1y agoDont show some vibe coded hobby scripts. Show that you know how to build software AND how software engineering works. So build a small application that that shows you understood some basic architecture principles like oo, seperation of concerns etc. Then add a CI CD pipeline and Docker Images to show that you also have thought about deployments on production systems.
