@bigguysahaj@waitin4agi_ Nevertheless genuinely happy for those who got selected. No doubt about what my fellow Indians could pull off. Excited to see the projects that were selected.
@bigguysahaj@waitin4agi_ They’re already done reviewing the submissions, which means they haven’t even looked at what we submitted. Honestly, there’s no hope of getting in now. It’s not even about not getting selected. It’s about the submission never being looked at in the first place.
@PariharCodes@waitin4agi_ It's not about being unfair or not getting in. It's the hard truth that after so much effort it was not even looked at. I believe in fellow participants who got selected; their work might have been better than what we submitted.
When a founder hires directly, they look at whether a candidate can actually get the work done. They value diverse experience and figure out how to leverage it for the outcome they need.
HR and hiring teams often play it safe, filtering candidates by rigid checklists.

@tomwillmot That’s why I see a strong alignment with both Human Made and Altis. I’d be keen to bring that breadth of experience to the team and contribute at a level beyond the traditional boundaries of the role.
@tomwillmot What I bring goes well beyond WordPress. My experience spans product, design, web, operations and GTM, giving me a broad perspective across the entire journey from building products to taking them to market.
@tomwillmot Thanks for the update, Tom. Completely understand.
I’ve spent 10+ years working with WordPress, starting back in high school, and have since led and mentored distributed teams while working across 200+ websites.
@tomwillmot I have applied for Agile Delivery Lead (APAC) at Human Made but haven’t heard back from the hiring team. I’d love to work with the best organisation out there that shares my love and passion for WordPress. Please let me know whom I should reach out to. Thank You.
@tomwillmot I had the same confusion. I’m leaning towards using Work purely for cloud browser access, visual QA, and testing against image references, while using Codex for the actual coding. Feels like a much cleaner workflow.
