Just went through the signup process. There should be a textbox for those of us who don't maintain great github profiles to say a few words about ourselves.

- bitsweet 14y agoGood idea. If we can't infer enough information sometimes we'll reach out and ask one or two questions.
- kilroy123 14y agoIt would also be great, if we could just import our information from LinkedIn.
- bitsweet 14y agoIf you attach your resume, we'll parse it for you. LinkedIn has set a precedent of cease and desists for products like this, we wanted to avoid that path.
- mtrimpe 14y agoI came here to second kilroy123's request since I hadn't heard about the cease and desist issue yet. It would be interesting if you could find an appropriate way to explain that to users; perhaps with a reference to http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/ http://resume.linkedinlabs.com/?
- gdilla 14y agoI just submitted, but I'm a product manager - looks like you're focusing on engineers only? We're useful too (sometimes).
- josh2600 14y agoI'm not looking, but, to tag along, the position of Growth Hacker/Analytic Marketer is also quite popular and valuable (sometimes).
- bitsweet 14y agoOur focus has been developers because we are most familiar with how messed up the status quo is for us and how we can improve it. That being said we have also seen an overwhelming response from those that don't write code. We are figuring out how to expand the product.
- basseq 14y agoI feel like you could emphasize your DEVELOPER-ONLY focus a little better: it's not clear who should be filling out the form a) unless you scroll down the page and read all the content or b) until you get to the github handle input and think, "Hmmm..."
- bitsweet 14y agothanks for the feedback!
- clebio 14y agoI'd say they're focusing on software developers (ok, software engineers). They're more niche than 'engineers', which CS intersects. I agree it's less than obvious.
