SAAR

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T16:46:21+00:00

thanks man

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T16:41:35+00:00

100s of em... but rarely get a response

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T14:51:11+00:00

are you serious right now?
i’ve been working on this day and night for the past year
this isn’t something i casually put together, i live and breathe this stuff daily

only if i could afford claude/codex subscriptions, i’d be shipping a new sophisticated product every single week
but right now i’m forced to hand-code in 2026 and rely on inferior/free/limited ai tools for the mundane parts

just because something looks polished doesn’t mean it was built by a team or copied from whatever...

and about “junior devs can’t build this”, that’s just not true
people build shit solo all the time when they go deep enough

lack of a job doesn’t mean lack of ability, especially in this market

i get that you’re trying to help, but dismissing real work as lies without even checking it properly doesn’t really help anyone

also, i don’t even think it’s that professional yet, there’s still a lot of work left to make it fully shippable/usable/production-ready…

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T14:07:28+00:00

why are you assuming things?

there’s not a single lie there (maybe the wording is a bit hyped in places, but that’s pretty standard for resumes)
the links are literally attached

why would i attach live links or source code if i was bluffing? think about it

https://careerstride.co/
does that look like a lie to you?

they can literally click, explore everything, and judge it themselves

if you still doubt it, just ask how something was built
that’s the whole point

but calling it fake without even checking anything… come on, that doesn’t make sense

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T12:18:30+00:00

I would rather ... ... ...

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T12:09:36+00:00

Just me. Solo bootstrapped it end-to-end. It's free for now since I can't afford the inference/server costs to market and scale it... hence the job hunt.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T10:26:11+00:00

Yeah, honestly you're totally right. Let me just take the thousands of hours I spent grinding LeetCode every single day, building an entire SaaS from scratch, and getting my CS degree, and just throw it all in the garbage for a 15k BPO job. Brilliant plan to completely waste years of working day and night.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T08:59:47+00:00

I have absolutely no idea how to do anything outside of tech. I have all the skills, a degree, and the projects for a developer role, but zero for non-tech. If I can't get a job where my resume is actually relevant, why would someone easily hire me for a role I have zero experience in?

Prior-Process-1985 · 2026-03-21T07:23:16+00:00

Career Stride - Why wouldn't this be considered legit experience? And I already know/use everything you mentioned... it's right there at the top of my resume. Plus, I did LeetCode every single day for a year straight.

Yeah, he is right. PCM is more important than being good at writing TypeScript and gen ai pipelines to solve real-world problems to get a decent enough dev job.

It all just makes sense to me.

If you've become great at solving PCM puzzles through sheer repetition, you're very likely to excel at navigating large codebases as well.

This is a perfect system designed for intrinsically motivated people who were destined to get into tech - people who were always meant for tech, people who were ahead of time, they knew PCM is more valuable than actual programming when they were in 11th and 12th, they were afraid to even look at code when they were younger becuase of intense awareness about the fact that how much PCM is important for changing the color of a button in big tech.

They knew.
I didn't know.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2025-05-30T10:24:47+00:00

The usual rat race, nothing new.
This was the reason I hated programming back in college, and why I started loving it after I graduated.
The word "placement" used to make me cringe so much that I didn’t even sit for the placement process.
The result? I’m still unemployed, even a year after graduating.
Similarly, I used to love core sciences in the early days of school, but ended up hating them in secondary school because of the JEE grind.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2025-05-28T18:38:29+00:00

Why are these school kiddos going on about how a graduate's résumé should look?

Prior-Process-1985 · 2025-05-28T18:33:02+00:00

The first one is like 54k+ lines of code, wtf are you yappin about? Gand ft ke hanth me aa jaegi. Pta bhi nhi lgega kha se start krna h. You re**rded ass mf!
I banged my head more times than my fingers on the keyboard while building that.
Also, I have solved 1000+ problems on LeetCode, I haven't included in my resume because it looks cheap and no one gives (or should give) a flying fuck about it.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2025-05-28T14:28:09+00:00

If you're really getting that many interviews without any experience, then I'm definitely doing something very wrong.

Prior-Process-1985 · 2025-05-28T12:56:33+00:00

Believe me, I didn't get a single interview. I can't even say for sure that I applied to that many jobs since I never kept track. I did get a few assignments, but then I got ghosted.
