I think writing is a great idea, it was something I did earlier in my career. It showcased some interesting experiences of mine (matching algorithms deployed in the real world, porting neural nets to coreml in 2017, making advanced SSD configurations on kubernetes, etc)... these all gave me a lot of visibility and really only limited insight into my experience. Still, they enabled quite a bit career wise and plenty of conversation.

The best platform turned out to be Clubhouse... where I could talk the talk with like minded individuals... discussing preemptible VM hacking with Kelsey Hightower was memorable. But that platform sadly dies a slow death.

I think the cover letter is where experienced individuals have a chance to write the no-bs, all-out, explanation of why they are fit for the job. We choose not to offer this as a feature.

The resume is an anchor for interview conversations, and filtering in recruiting. I agree that it is all unideal actually but regardless is a part of the process. It can be a barrier for job seekers, and we wanted to break that barrier down.

I think AI is set to make the job seeking and hiring experiences better fwiw.
