While I have a personal career document and have had one for years where I have all of my major accomplishments in STAR format. This seems a bit much. When I was at BigTech, there was an internal system where you recorded your major accomplishments and the impact they had. But I would never write it up on a public blog post like this. I am assuming the author of the post must be someone well known in the industry for it to make it to the front page of Hacker News. If his intent was to promote himself so he could get another job, I’m sure that he has a network where a few messages would lead him to one. Even in my little niche of the world where in the grand scheme of things I’m a nobody, I was able to lean on my network at 50 after being Amazoned in 2023 and have three offers that were at least a lateral move within two weeks. I had one fall into my lap last year too that I accepted based on my network.
