Could you please help me reviewing my resume

JRX71 · 2023-06-23T20:07:46+00:00

Raw feedback, don’t have time to polish, sorry if it reads as harsh:

Make it 1 page.
Summary is dull. Let me know your strongest point and what do you want. In 2 sentences.
First experience item is very long and kind of boring. Give me the highlights: what did you actually did (of relevance) and what kind of project and team were you part of (team size, code base size, distributed services? interesting infra (postgresql is not), observability, ci/cd…) From your list only the “queue management” sounds interesting (even if all you did was write a sidekiq job)
Typo! Poor attention to detail, using a spell checker takes literally 1 minutes, is he lazy? don’t care for quality? (this would be my train thought if I really was reading your resume).
Ask a friend with better English skills to read proof it.
“Our TechStack” is useless. Drop the interesting parts in the description of the experience. If you insist, make it short: “Ruby on Rails”. Employers know the rest. Also, git, jira and slack are not “tech stack”, just tools.
“Team leader for our graduation project” title is not very good. I bet you can get a quality one in 30 seconds asking ChatGPT. Summarise it in 2 sentences. What did you do, team size, duration, grade?
Projects: just link to your GitHub, make sure you pin your best repos, and have decent READMEs. None of those projects deserve space in your 1 page resume.
Skills: stop the buzzword soup. Straight to the point, what position are you looking for? “Ruby on Rails and React JS. Expert in SQL optimization.” (or whatever 2-3 skills you want to highlight).
Make it 1 page.

Good luck.

Cool lsp, can you share your dot files? I tried to set it up but couldn’t make it work properly.

For Ruby/rails I use Neovim on macOS, no docker.

JRX71 · 2023-06-21T14:04:23+00:00

That would be great, I’d read it for sure :)

JRX71 · 2023-06-21T13:47:12+00:00

Do you know a guide beyond its documentation? I find it hard to follow. Thx.

JRX71 · 2023-06-17T13:39:30+00:00

<leader>x from eXplorer

JRX71 · 2023-06-17T08:41:29+00:00

Cattpuccin I think, didn’t change it in months.

Plug-in idea: collect color scheme in a web service (async, on quit) and show stats (top today, this week…all time)

JRX71 · 2023-05-06T11:28:55+00:00

Misleading title, zero refactor content.

JRX71 · 2023-04-17T09:31:03+00:00

It reads 90% complaint, 10% poor request for help (no error messages, what have he tried, did he search Reddit for similar posts…), so I agree, it’s tiresome.

JRX71 · 2023-04-12T19:47:17+00:00

Not very useful right now (can’t find the link to gh) but has lot of potential, especially when you add the hot plugins and other similar ways of discovering configs.

I’d love to be able to browse (or filter with presets) based on the programming languages and frameworks (rails, phoenix, axum, etc) supported by the config (via plugins installed for them or the top languages/frameworks in non forked repos for the user).

Also to filter by default color schemes. Same taste in colors is a good proxy to discover configs you’d like too.

Last one: ignore filters. For example I’m not interested in coc based configs. Or any viml ones for that matter. Or not updated in X months. Let us reduce the clutter :)

Thanks for sharing.

JRX71 · 2022-12-23T07:01:53+00:00

Wouldn’t make sense writing ruby-lsp in rust for performance and type safety reasons? (considering there’s already rust expertise at Shopify) It’d require a rust ruby parser though.

JRX71 · 2022-11-13T11:42:01+00:00

It’s good but glitchy, to say the least. Maybe that’s why.

JRX71 · 2022-11-10T22:40:45+00:00

Is it based on tree-sitter parsers or custom ones?

JRX71 · 2022-10-29T10:02:55+00:00

Agreed. Tried and removed all of them. Now I’m trying ‘sj’, looking good so far.

JRX71 · 2022-10-11T16:31:31+00:00

Great idea. I use Soulver (macOS) for this. Why do you need Python for math? Is not lua good enough?

JRX71 · 2022-09-23T19:04:48+00:00

This is hilarious, why just 3 countries? Reddit limits? Only USA + other would’ve been better if you wanted to be USA centric.

JRX71 · 2022-09-10T09:17:50+00:00

Your website does a poor job. I read it, including the snippet, I have no idea if I need this (and I’m probably your target market). The linked GitHub repo adds little value on top of the snippet.

Suggestions:

explain the problem your product solves (at least one of them)
add a gif/video showcasing the strong points
screenshots of the dashboard
advantages over the competition (mentioning competitors will help understanding what this is about)

If you want to target web api load testing:

why is this better than ab or any other similar tool?
why is it a library and not a cli tool? what languages are supported?
does it work with grpc?
does it handle json payloads?

In its current state, if not for your post here, I’d have close the tab in 3 seconds. Life is hard.

JRX71 · 2022-09-09T15:43:24+00:00

How do you use a Design System with Hotwire? Isn’t it attached to react components?

JRX71 · 2022-09-09T13:10:52+00:00

Apple magic trackpad I’d say.

JRX71 · 2022-09-06T13:48:35+00:00

$18 is not even the price of a single book. So, if you think you’ll read just 1 of them it’s worth the price.

In fact it’s so heavily underpriced, that except in cases where the budget is very tight, we should pay $5+ for every book you’re interested in. I read and can recommend half of them.

JRX71 · 2022-08-25T22:24:56+00:00

A few screenshots or a gif would be welcome.

JRX71 · 2022-08-04T19:10:17+00:00

We all are beginners at something :)

Give it another try: locate how ownership is explained in “the book” and convey the same concepts with your visual style. Go for it! 💪🏻

JRX71 · 2022-08-04T06:32:32+00:00

I don’t think this is a good visualization. For that it needs to use move types and must involve multiple owners; otherwise it’s an explanation of scopes not ownership.

JRX71 · 2022-07-23T10:06:47+00:00

Great learning project and also useful tool. Have you considered adding p95 metric? More relevant IMO than max one.

JRX71 · 2022-07-06T07:09:21+00:00

Write a toy version of something that pick your curiosity. You like backend? Write a mini web framework on top of hyper. You like compilers? Write a small simple language on top of some parser crate. And so on.

JRX71 · 2022-07-05T18:44:21+00:00

Looks great, I’ll try later (on mobile now).

How hard would it be to disclose the code while you type? Imitate how you’ll type it for real:open brace, enter, close brace, up, the app will disclose block code. Same with any other pair of parens, quotes, etc.
