I share the frustration that we haven't discovered anything yet and honestly I didn't even think of the title being like that until you said anything. I just like the project. The more you dive into this the less shocking it is we

Perhaps it is. Never looked at it that way. I'd love to build my family a chair but will they accept the gift knowing that because I chose wood as my canvas, it will likely be 10k+ microns off on each leg? I think the downturn observat

I started programming when I was around 12. My teacher told me about how he learned BASIC in school...so I went home and looked up BASIC. I had a lot of fun messing around with qbasic/qb64 and finally FreeBASIC. Semi-related but one of

This is great feedback. I really appreciate it. I'd love to give you the short of what we're doing. If you're interested, my email is in my HN desc. Not sure what I could offer in exchange for your time but willing to figure

Thanks a ton. I do have some questions based on your feedback. What do you mean by experience? As a consumer or moreso experience that the particular solution is viable? A story on the product or of the founder(s)? I feel like I've got

Excellent advice. Thank you!

The more I think about it the more I agree that what I said isn't accurate, actually. Agents can spam too and get paid for placing "someone", not one person. Also, if everyone had an agent, we're basically at the same pl

Good points. I agree that employees shouldn't need to pay to find work but I feel it's more competitive than you think for a lot of people out there right now. Just looking for solutions. Also, it's one of those things where

Exactly! That's my problem with recruiters. They get paid to place "someone", not "you". As far as me not really expecting to get paid is that I'm hoping to try this for a little while and see what the right bu

That's a great idea. Thank you! I'll take it into account with the next iteration. The interviews part is going to be hard though. I don't know if that's allowed. :-)

Also, If you aren't willing yet to pay someone to apply to jobs for you, then you are not the target audience. But let me know if there's anything related you'd pay for. That's how the idea came up for me. I was like &qu

If I understand correctly, you mean by applying to this, it's not "not applying" or that me applying for you is not "not applying"? Will take your confusion and my new confusion into account. Thx
