Just cancelled my ahrefs subscription
Discovered an absolute banger SEO keyword research tool that I feel obliged to share:
@seosparkio — Cheap and insanely good UX
Somebody uses an AI Bot to AUTOMATICALLY apply to 1000 JOBS in 24h and get 50 INTERVIEWS! 🤯
And the Bot's code is open-sourced in GitHub. 👨🔧
This tool automates your LinkedIn job search and application process.

- Applies to jobs using LinkedIn's "Easy Apply," and
- Generates tailored resumes.
- It uses an LLM to personalize responses for employer questions.
- Can handle bulk applications while maintaining quality control.
- Securely manages your data and integrates with OpenAI's API for AI-driven features.
Startup Playbook by Sam Altman (first published a month before the founding of OpenAI in 2015)
Out of all the parts, great execution is my favorite (and is also the hardest)
If startup founders have $0 for marketing, here’s what they should do:
1. Google “Getkoala com database”
2. Filter companies based on industry and revenue
3. Download up to 10,000 company profiles for free
4. Reach out to C-level executives from those companies
5. And softly pitch their products or services using the AIDA framework

2. Find recently funded startups that are hiring for the role related to the productized service you offer
3. Install the chrome extension "Simplify"

5. Instead of a cover letter, add your offer
P.s.
This is a variation of the strategy Brett from DesignJoy used to land his clients

The first open-source implementation of the paper that will change automatic test generation is now available!
In February, Meta published a paper introducing a tool to automatically increase test coverage, guaranteeing improvements over an existing code base.
This is a big deal, but Meta didn't release the code.
Fortunately, we now have Cover-Agent, an open-source tool you can install that implements Meta's paper to generate unit tests automatically:
https://t.co/2KFrvhR9OI
I recorded a quick video showing Cover-Agent in action. There are two things I want to mention:
1. Automatically generating unit tests is not new, but doing it right is difficult. If you ask ChatGPT to do it, you'll get duplicate, non-working, and meaningless tests that don't improve your code. Meta's solution only generates unique tests that run and increase code coverage.
2. People who write tests before writing the code (TDD) will find this less helpful. That's okay. Not everyone does TDD, but we all need to improve test coverage.
There are many good and bad applications of AI, but this is one I'm looking forward to make part of my life.

I am finetuning llama 3 (8b) on SEC filings
Goal: ace financial Q&A and launch in production.
Step 1 is data collection:
• pick a ticker (eg $NVDA)
• grab its SEC filings
• generate question + answer dataset
• upload dataset to huggingface for reuse
So far, I have created a small dataset and uploaded it to @huggingface.
I will keep expanding this dataset over time.
Next step is preparing the data for finetuning.
I pay for 66 products ➤ to run my 24 projects.
Do you know a better alternative? Ideally, bootstrapped.
Let me know, and I may switch.
