that's one of my key takeaways from all the comments here. a lot of people actually like the og - pre ai content I wrote more than the blog article it became. i just have to be confident in my own writing I guess.
btw, how do you have Arch in your name and have a Fiancee? sounds fishy :) /s
no, that was me. i did not setup a watch script or anything to see how long the link was up for. but when I first tried it, it was active, and when I tried it the next day around the same time, it was gone.
so, David is like my middle name, when I started on LinkedIn i used my full name. but I could not get my domain with that name. but was able to snag https://daviddodda.com which sounds much smoother, more of a personal branding choice.
so I wrote this article a few weeks back, i reached out to the company on LinkedIn, even tried to connect with their leadership team. sent a few people from the org a draft of the article. I did not get any response at all. so, not really sure about this myself.
also, got blocked by the 'Chief Blockchain Officer' when I asked for a comment.
keep things interesting, also make sure you take a look at the images in the google doc'

well, it was during the technical interview, and it was just a couple of engineers doing the interview. I was just geeking out on all the problems I was solving (and creating).
and to be honest, I was too nerves to think about if it was risky or taboo.
how would you rate this?, this email was written by the system from the article.
Dear Hiring Manager,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is David Dodda, and I am writing to express my interest in the Software Engineer position at WIA Software Systems Inc. I am a Senior Software Developer with extensive experience in full-stack development, and I believe my skills align well with the requirements outlined in your job posting.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication and over 5 years of professional experience, I have honed my capabilities in various programming languages and technologies, particularly in React, Node.js, AWS, and SQL. At Black Beard Development Group, I led the development of a privacy-focused AI platform and played a pivotal role in establishing CI/CD pipelines that improved efficiencies across our team.
Your job description emphasizes the importance of developing software solutions by studying systems flow, data usage, and work processes. In my previous roles, I have consistently evaluated user feedback to improve system designs and have successfully executed the full lifecycle of software development. Additionally, my involvement in agile methodologies and my proficiency in AWS aligns perfectly with your requirement for cloud and DevOps experience.
Furthermore, I have experience collaborating with teams to coordinate the development and integration of computer-based systems, ensuring optimal functionality and performance. My recent project involving a fantasy sports DApp required me to coordinate with various stakeholders, manage expectations, and lead technical efforts, making me well-equipped for the responsibilities at WIA Software Systems Inc.
I am particularly excited about the hybrid work arrangement offered for this role, as I believe it allows for both collaborative in-person engagement and the flexibility of remote work, which enhances productivity.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and enthusiasms align with the goals of WIA Software Systems Inc.
well, manual application is also a thing, there are people who literally make it their job to apply to job listings. you can find people offering their services on r/slavelabour. some times they take a flat rate/job application, sometimes they do percentage of your first paycheck on new job.
I am with you on that. applying for jobs indiscriminately is bad. but right now llms have got to a point where they are pretty good at pattern matching job requirements with skills in my resume. it's smart enough to not apply for php heavy projects/jobs when given a MERN stack developer resume.
I saw this as a marketing kind of problem, your conversion is based both on number and quality of your leads.
would love to know more about the technical details behind this tool!
I am working on something that needs LinkedIn integration and would love to know how you did that, thanks!
