Software developer with over 10 years of experience across the entire stack of web applications. Very much a polyglot who's more on the "Product Engineer" side of full stack engineering. Looking for remote or hybrid roles.

In general, it would be things like:
* Avoid repetitive action words - "Built systems, built software, built infrastructure..."
* Add numbers/metrics where you can: "Improved site performance by 20%+"
* Line items should not be over 2 lines
Aside from that, choose a _standard_ resume format/layout. Don't get fancy with columns, colors, etc.A little background: I have 10+ years of professional experience. Polyglot. Experience with extremely small to medium sized companies.
I re-used my previous resume, which did decently well around 2019 when I was looking for a new position, but with updated info for the newest position I had. Applied to a number positions that I was very qualified for -- crickets. This put me in a bad spot mentally, honestly, as it felt like signals that I'm just not "good enough" for fancy "big tech".
I then updated my resume layout to be more parseable (admittedly this is another variable), then signed up for a service that helps ATS-ify my resume. This involved adding numbers to certain line items, reduce repetition, honestly some good feedback in general. Immediate recruiter messages the next day.
I was extremely averse to using a service like this as it just felt "dirty" or was a sign of my personal ethics "giving in" to some sort of system. Honestly, I still kind of feel that way, but this is the game we play now. I know for a fact I've been auto-rejected from a number of roles that I was 100%+ qualified for because of my resume.
In terms of "Hacker houses", I've only known one person (a coworker) who stayed in one long-term, but he was pretty eccentric. He complained about his living situation a good amount, but, attempting to reduce some of his biases, they seem to be in a "you pay for what you get" type of situation.
Last suggestion: book an initial stay through a hotel/Airbnb with a short duration -- with the intent of finding a co-living space if you're really that intent on living in one. This will give you time to scope locations out _in person_ and potentially toss out options that only look good in advertisements.
If you have a community [whatever] service that would not be a business. If you have a blog, that's could potentially be a very business-adjacent, but I'd argue it doesn't cover the "social media" qualification, so that also doesn't apply.
If you run a business and much of your content is user-generated (because it's a social media site), the OP is arguing that API access should be free/at cost.
Personally, the biggest platform move I've made was the switch from IGN boards (objectively the top 1% of message boards at the time) to Reddit. During the switch it felt completely wrong and different, but as time passed I saw how much more Reddit offered compared to a traditional message board. I hope there's something out there that would make me feel the same with this next transition, but so far I don't see much for me yet. All I can see in the near-term is (hopefully) more productivity.
Amazing how you'd think it's actually close to zero. So many dangerous situations are removed once speeding is at least attempted to be removed from the equation.
To name two: reaction times are increased, stopping distances are reduced. I probably know what you'd say next: the driver is distracted. Not the speed's problem. To which I'll say, yeah of course the driver's distracted -- it's because the driver's human and will never be paying attention to the road 100% at all times.
IMO driving speeds, and how a community feels about it, are huge indicators on how hostile and how selfish a community can be.
Question about the releases: are there any plans on having Japanese language versions of manga available as well?
Believing that most engineers only have one computer IMO seems out of touch with reality.
Which is a bunch of FUD (see top comment by EvanYou).
Anecdotally from my on and off job searching, React leads here by orders of magnitude. And unfortunately for me, my Vue personal experiments/side projects have to be put in the sideline for a bit. Many people I've talked to want direct React experience and not just experience in reactive frontend stuff.
