How to make your engineering job application stand out (from the perspective of someone looking at hundreds of resumes):

1. Your resume should be one page. If you really need more space, link to a website. You don't need 10+ bullets for each job.

2. You will immediately stand out >90% of applications if you link a personal website that has some intentionality behind it.

3. If you are going to link your X, you might want to clean up your posts? Seems obvious but... people post some wild stuff.

4. You should link your GitHub. Please avoid doing a profile README that looks like a MySpace profile with the badges and images. I'm trying to look at code and your ability to build interesting ideas.

5. You should try to customize your application to the company. If you're applying to a startup, the courses you took in college probably don't matter as much. Maybe more if you're trying to make it through the ATS screening for FAANG.

6. I'm seeing a surprising number of resumes which don't talk about AI or agents at all. Software engineering is changing and it's a pretty fair assumption that you will be expected to learn or understand coding with AI for your job. That should be reflected on your resume and projects (and I'm not just saying this because I'm at Cursor).

7. Take your LinkedIn seriously. Most devs are here hanging out on X but surprisingly still most people will send around your LinkedIn internally.

8. Find ways to show your unique strengths/tastes/interests. It's nice to see people are smart, well-rounded, and thoughtful. Maybe this is a collection of books you enjoyed and why. Or some writing you've done. Or films you liked. At the end of the day, people want to work with other people they like and respect. If nothing else, it will be a good conversation starter ("oh I love [book] as well!").

9. Do not use AI to write your cover letter or resume text. It's incredibly obvious, especially if you are applying to an AI company. You can still use it to ideate on ideas or phrases, but write it by hand (don't fall victim to the overused in-the-distribution-AI-phrases). See: /humanizer skill.

10. No photos on resumes. Save those for whatever you link out to.

11. Quality over quantity. 3 really good, thoughtful, detailed, interesting projects versus a wall of 27 AI-slop ones.

Remember that hiring managers / recruiters are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for a role. They're not going to spend 20 minutes on every single application. You need to cut the cruft and get to the point. I hope this helps you stand out!

@techsis_1813 @AkeemJR001 @MTNNG @TeKnowledgeGLBL @Microsoft @dsn_ai_network @3MTTNigeria congratulations 🚀

Being a "backend engineer" is not a skill.
It's a department.

Moniepoint posted roles, struggled to find qualified Nigerians, and Nigerians on the internet showed their displeasure.

But still, nobody touched the actual problem.

This thread will make some of you uncomfortable.

That's fine.

It's only a problem for people who don't read with an open mind.

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

[austin lau @helloitsaustin]

I got married this past weekend so I did what any rational @AnthropicAI employee would do and had Claude Code analyze 12 years of iMessages with my wife, then Claude Design used that data to whip up a website for our guests in just minutes.

@SokeyeA what about the money to afford the tokens?

[§ensei 🧙‍♂️✨ @raqibcodes]

@som_nnamani @internetarchive congratulations, Chisom! 🚀

[§ensei 🧙‍♂️✨ @raqibcodes]

@Jermaine_73 you really should!

[§ensei 🧙‍♂️✨ @raqibcodes]

the deepseek-v4 Pro is an incredibly good coding model especially through the Claude Code harness
used 18M total tokens for some crazy refactoring and spent just $0.36 !!

and now the v4 Pro discount is running through the end of May, what a time to be alive !!!!😭🔥

[DeepSeek @deepseek_ai]

The DeepSeek-V4-Pro discount has been extended until May 31, 2026, 15:59 UTC!

[dax @thdxr]

deepseek is outrageously cheap

even if you ignore the current 75% discount input token prices are 35x cheaper than opus

cached tokens are 178x cheaper
