> a custom bootloader created by me to impress technical recruiters
Recruiters don't have time to go through the process just to see your CV.
You won't impress them.

Especially not in Show HN threads:
I'm not going to go through the assembly with a fine-grained comb, but I don't need to. The existence of the final result demonstrates someone who persevered to do something novel that required more than a superficial understanding of their tools. It also lends itself to interesting questions for an interview (what was hardest, what would you change, are there other file formats that could work with this).
It's not by itself something that makes me want to hire you, but it certainly makes me want to talk to you.
Also, the resume opens as a regular PDF, so there’s no extra work to see it unless you want to try the bootloader.
