8 hired through @proofzme so far:
5 at startups, including Omnisavant and HighOnSwift
3 by us
(2 of them paid gig work for founders)
14 more got jobs on their own. They practised in mock interviews on Proof and wrote about their work while they prepared. 3 of them had been laid off after years of experience.
There are two ways into a job through @proofzme . of the 8 jobs, resume was never shared for any of them.
1. Build it. A founder posts a role with a small real project. You build it and write down why you built it that way. The project is your application.
2. Get pulled. You log your work on Proof for weeks, with the why behind it. A founder reads those logs and reaches out to you first. You didn't apply.
Pandidharan got interviews this way: founders read [23 days] of his logs and asked to talk.
133 people wrote on Proof this month. About 19 of them write the why: the trade-off, what it cost, what they weren't sure about. We keep showing them how, one log at a time.
Logs and a built project show how you think, so the interview is about work you've already done.

4 regular Proof users got jobs in the last 2 weeks.
What they had in common: they wrote down how they think, daily, before the interviews. Two also did mock interviews on Proof.

Tech Update:
AI models can hide messages inside images using something as simple as building heights.
Another AI model can decode them just by looking at the image.
The surprising part? They weren't given a shared codebook.
The placement group has 214 unread messages.
Your own progress has zero lines.
Proof is a daily log: what you decided, got stuck on, got wrong. Founders read it instead of your résumé.
Now an app. 3 lines, 2 minutes: https://t.co/w87uxHQV91 #ZME
PHP just dropped emergency patches for two critical vulnerabilities. If you’re running PHP, now’s a good time to check your version and update.
A little prevention now can save a lot of panic later.
Critical PHP bugs are in the news.
Me, checking my final year project: vulnerable.
Also me: never deployed. Safe.
Next time, write down what you checked and what you found. Two minutes: https://t.co/KbLzprKuQH #ZME
Chennai rain gives you three things:
A holiday.
A power cut.
A perfect excuse.
Use the first two for a 3-line log. Keep the third for next time.
