I Joined the Hacktoberfest Week 2 "Side Hustle" challenge on @ThePracticalDev.
To build on open weight models and get a paying customer.
My question: can cheap open source models design AND code a decent landing page?
So I built Skulptor, an agent skill for exactly that. 馃У
馃 Made with AI
I never really paid attention to open source but this year I am getting a bit curious about contributing.
Surprisingly no one is talking about Hacktoberfest like before.
What Happened?
Any tips? @Samson_Goddy @swacblooms
Let us talk about one final observation about job hunting in the current tech market.
Trying to navigate intense recruitment loops can be exhausting,
but if you are actively looking for a role right now, you need to apply in mass numbers.

Let us talk about Behavioral Rounds.
For most Software Engineering or Technical roles, this is the final stage.
However, this round can be tricky. Some people get Ghosted even after getting positive feedback.
Some Lessons based on my experiences.馃憞馃У
It's Hiring season again!!, everyone is applying for roles and advancing through rounds and I genuinely wish everyone success.
But it takes more than wishes to be successful at interviews, you need specific mind shifts to do well.
Let us talk about emotional composure!!! 馃憞馃У
There are exceptional Software Engineers, who take ownership of work, lead teams and have decent experience but still fail interview rounds.
It has nothing to do with your self worth, You need to actively prepare.
let us talk about interviews as an independent sport馃У馃憞
Reading technical documentation can be incredibly boring, but recently I鈥檝e found a cheat code:
reading production deep-dives written by fellow engineers.
I solved one of the toughest system design interview problems I've ever faced using a single free article. 馃憞馃У
Being good at what you do and convincing a recruiter or manager are two different things.
Let us talk about "Proof of Work" and how it can help you stand out in real-time. 馃憞馃У
Over the past few months, I鈥檝e interviewed at some of the top tech companies for software engineering roles.
Going through multiple stages has taught me a lot about how engineering teams currently evaluate talent.
We need to talk about the Post-AI bar. 馃憞馃У
My teammate and I @UAwortu recently participated in the @dev_careers 脳 @nombahq Hackathon.
We didn't win 馃槀, but getting access to live payment APIs and building against real fintech infrastructure made it completely worth it.
