[UPDATE] We hired a Founding Frontend engineer! Thank you for amplifying this opportunity -- it achieved 120,000 impressions from LinkedIn users. For those who reached out asking, "What is Fern (YC W23)?" Answer: Fern is a software developer tool that makes it easier to consume APIs. APIs are the messengers between modern software systems that carry information back and forth. For example, Stripe is known for having a user-friendly API because (1) it has great documentation, (2) pre-written code (SDKs) in popular programming languages, and (3) it has helpful error messages. Fern brings these benefits to any company's API -- just ask our customers, such as: Webflow, Flatfile, Merge, Cohere, and Courier!

I was asked ‘0’ DSA questions 🔥 BrowserStack is hiring again for “Frontend” now. Cleartrip (Flipkart) is hiring too :) One of the first unicorn I’d cracked earlier. It’s hiring back for - top frontend talents! • Fully “Remote” company • Work from anywhere • Amazing Pay 💰 (close to your FAANGs) • Cutting edge technologies • Growth culture 📈 The rounds I had were super-amazing and I completely enjoyed it from the point of keeping it purely - frontend engineering oriented rounds. Do not self reject, it’s the worse you do. Apply first, thank me later :) ⚡️ BrowserStack - https://lnkd.in/g4RQTfiS ⚡️ Cleartrip - https://lnkd.in/gBZfJsby (Edit : It took 4hrs, from when I posted the role at BrowserStack last time got filled) Whenever there has been any “new” hiring opportunity I tried to push it stronger. You can follow me Arun M, and 10x your growth in Frontend 🚀

It could be as a result of contributing more often to private repositories. Not all private repository contributions show up on your GitHub contribution history. As much as this should not really matter, it's still very important. Not every recruiter will be patient and/or experienced enough to tell how good an engineer is when he/she has such an empty contribution chart on GitHub. Do your best to keep your GitHub contribution chart as green as possible - always. The balance is possible.

Let's rethink our approach to hiring developers. Simply relying on green dots in GitHub profiles isn't enough. Some of the most talented developers I've encountered aren't active on GitHub; instead, they're crafting exceptional closed-source apps on platforms like GitLab. We need to shift our focus from measuring quantity through Git activity to evaluating the value developers bring to a repository. It's about quality over quantity when assessing their contributions. #hiring #development

I can relate that as I’ve been using Gitlab more than Github as it has very efficient in user experience, has a great dashboard to help divide tasks and other great features.

This post is completely showing a true fact about oppressed developers. Tech companies should be aware of that and should be somehow careful/reasonable with their job requirements when being posted. #hiring #techcompanies #developers #hr #rules #tech #technologies

This! But the advice isn't for beginners. I mean, for the past four months, I've been working only with Bitbucket because that's my clients' preference. Also, no one has ever asked me why my GitHub history is empty because there's evidence of my expertise right in front of them. Flip the coin, it's not the same with a beginner. The urge to have dark green GitHub streaks is the beginning of consistent learning and the urge to learn even advanced parts like PRs and others just to earn the badges. If you're a beginner, or in your intermediate years and there's no critical evidence to support you working professionally, I would advise you to focus and use the "green dots" as self-motivation to keep the wheel rolling. NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

Stop hiring developers based on green dots in GitHub profiles. The best developers I know are not even on GitHub. They develop closed-source apps on platforms like GitLab. Git activity shows quantity, not quality. Measure developers based on the value they bring to a repo, not by how often they commit to a repo.
