What Hacker News says

14 sources
Adding to this, the YC jobs portal is also on: https://www.workatastartup.com/ There are also plenty of early stage startup job offers on the Ask HN: Who is hiring threads (here’s the latest one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44757794) The above can be hard to navigate, but there are some recommended tools in there that scrape the listings and make them searchable Lastly, you can also try this CLI tool that uses AI to match your resume and preferences to job listings scraped from HN and a couple of other sources: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs Oh, and you can also attend startup meetups, a lot of times you can meet the founders in person and they might be looking to hire (that’s how I first got into an early YC company)
In Ask HN: How do you find early stage startups to join
I can relate, been in a very similar situation Some recommendations: take care of yourself, it might feel like a chore, but it’s important. Personally, exercising regularly (15-45 min mon-fri) helped me get out of a very long rut Also, pace yourself, but keep going, try to apply to 1-2 jobs every day to keep consistency If/when you are out of a job, try to keep a project going that makes you feel productive, even if you are not making money, feeling like you got something done makes a huge difference Edit: use ChatGPT voice mode on your phone to prepare for interviews, it’s pretty good at role playing, coaching and encouraging A bit of a plug: I built this command line tool that uses AI to help you find jobs and track applications - https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs Feel free to use it, and would me more than happy if you want to

Show HN: Jobs Scraper for Workatastartup.com

This command-line job searching tool scrapes online listings, and compares it with your resume+preferences to find matches using AI (custom prompts + OpenAI LLM) A few months I posted it here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39621373). There have been quite a few improvements since then And now I'm very happy and thankful to tell you, that some contributors have added workatastartup.com as a listings source for CommandJobs So now you can also find matches among the public workatastartup.com/jobs listings Here's the direct link to the repo: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs PS: Job listing sources contributions are open and welcome, checkout issue #23

This is great, thank you for putting it together > More and more jobs are looking for senior and management level positions. It is increasing tough to be an entry level job applicant in tech On top of this, at least in my recent experience, it seems like companies not only want more senior applicants, they are also a lot more picky about their experience and want them to know their whole tech stack, have a ton of practice doing interviews, and be great at leetcode The current job searching experience, at least in tech, feels broken in many different ways Unfortunately I can't change companies' application processes, but I've been able to make one part of the job searching process a lot easier Shameless plug: I built an app that takes your resume + job preferences, then processes hundreds of listings to find only the best matches.

Was able to try out Glide last night (https://glide.agenticlabs.com/task/IqHd0RV) with an open source repo (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs) and really liked it Pros: it was kinda easy to get started, and Glide was able to figure out something that ChatGPT hadn't, which made a big difference, because I was about to have to rewrite a bunch of code otherwise Cons: some things were not very intuitive, the chatting window is small and it's hard to copy text and read things in a slightly longer conversation - also wish it would just ingest the repo and figure out what to include in the context by itself, the method/section searching/selecting is tricky to use All in all I'm very excited about what Glide can do and look forward to seeing its evolution Thank you for building such amazing tool

Excellent, thank you so much for the links, it's super interesting It should be pretty straightforward to create a scraper for one of those portals If you feel like taking a crack at it, checkout the code of the Ask HN who's hiring scraper here: https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs/blob/47b5c89402a3...

Ask HN: Hosting a CLI Tool via SSH?

Hi HN! I recently built a cli tool that uses AI to find job matches for software engineers (https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs) Someone on HN suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=azophy_2) I should host the application via SSH, so that anyone could just do: ssh commandjobs.com I thought that was super cool, but after doing some googling, I can't find any good resources on how to host command line applications via ssh Would really appreciate any links or information you could provide on how to do it Thank you

Well, you could throw in something like this - https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs/compare/master...... You can also go further by writing code that prompts the user for these values, one by one, and stores them in a config file. But for a CLI application, you might reasonably wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze there. CLI users tend to be comfortable editing a config file to hold a secret. Edit: or if some of those values are actually optional, then you would maybe exclude them from this check.

Show HN: Tech jobs on the command line

Hi HN! I'm Nico and lately I've been struggling looking for jobs. I've gotten specially frustrated with having to spend hours reading through listings just to find good matches. So I built something to scratch my own itch: Command Jobs, a terminal-based job finder and application tracker designed specifically for me, and maybe also software engineers The app scrapes web listings, saves them, processes them with GPT[1], then based on your resume and job preferences, it gives you the best matches This is my first open source project, and also my first public project using LLMs I'm really excited to share this with the HN community and would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and any features you'd like to see in the future. Please check it out and let me know what you think! https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs I'm currently wor
