Should I add this acknowledgement/shoutout by xAI/Grok to my resume?
I spotted a usability gap on X (formerly Twitter)—no way to categorize bookmarks by topic.
Suggested it publicly, and months later, they rolled it out with a shoutout from Grok.
Resume impact?
Worth adding under 'Product Contributions' (e.g., 'Suggested bookmark categorization feature, adopted by X')?
Overkill, useless, or a solid signal for PM/UX opportunities?
- tremarley 7mo agoYes
- aehsan4004 7mo agothank you
- ipaddr 7mo agoNo
- aehsan4004 7mo agothank you. May I ask, why you think I should NOT add it to my resume ?
- rocketpastsix 7mo agobecause Grok is incredibly toxic. If I saw that on a resume I'd be weary.
- throwaway5465 7mo agoAdd it to your blog. Add your blog which is full of interesting core and satellite stuff.
- aehsan4004 7mo agothank you. Was thinking just the same. Just to reconfirm, by "satellite stuff" my side hobby/hustle things that I do outside of my professional life, right ?
- codingdave 7mo agoDo you know for a fact that your suggestion was the reason it was changed? If so, a bullet point might be in order. If not, you are being quite presumptuous by claiming it. Either way, be careful about putting lists of details in your work. If you are at a junior level, it might be appropriate. But at higher levels, when I see lists of details, I question their seniority because it often looks like something that should be a day-to-day task has gotten called out as a large accomplishment.
