Someone on Reddit built his wife a job search app. She is a junior software engineer, and her job search had dragged on for almost 10 months. Tailoring a resume for every posting took ages. So he built Dossier. It finds postings, then writes a tailored resume, cover letter and email for each job, using only facts from her profile. It tracks every application from draft to offer on a board, and it runs on your own server, with a local AI model option, so your data stays with you. She landed a job with it, so he open-sourced it for anyone in the same spot. It is free at github.com/AienTech/dossier.

An AI assistant should get things done. Including hiring humans when needed. @shivanipod gets it.

It's a minor trend, but I'm definitely noticing a growing trend of 16-20 year old founders who're skipping college and directly building a startup. I'm honestly excited about this. College has its value in terms of human-connect but I think we'll find better alternatives for it.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

India’s first “Peptide Party” is reportedly being organised in Koramangala, Bengaluru on August 29, featuring “peptide tastings.” If this involves injectable peptides, is it legally permissible under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules? Has the Karnataka Drugs Control Department or Health Department and @BlrCityPolice been informed, and has any approval or permission been obtained for the event? The public deserves clarity on what exactly is being administered or supplied at this event and under whose regulatory oversight.

Resumes and static digital profiles fail to communicate real-world judgment, working style, or professional context. While the volume of job applicants remains high, employers possess almost no reliable mechanism to measure actual competence in the machine-intelligence era. Profound addresses this systemic gap by establishing the trust and identity layer for the professional workforce. Co-founders @anujrathi and @sucoder together bring more than two decades of product and engineering experience from Swiggy, Delhivery, and Zomato to scale this platform. The company has secured a $1.5 million seed round with participation from 3one4 Capital, @Stellaris_VP and prominent technology founders including and entrepreneurs including @harshamjty, Co-Founder and Group CEO,@Swiggy; @nandanreddy, Co-Founder, @Swiggy ; Pankaj Chaddah, Co-Founder, Eternal (formerly Zomato); @harshilmathur, Co-Founder and CEO, @Razorpay; @kunalb11, Founder, @CRED_club; and Bhuvan Gupta, Co-Founder, OfBusiness among others. Every professional who joins Profound gets their own AI Rep.

Profound envisions a professional ecosystem where AI Reps interact with one another on behalf of professionals and organisations, enabling richer discovery, trusted introductions and new ways to build careers, teams and businesses. We are proud to back profound.me as they go about rebuilding the identity and trust layer for the AI-first professional world.
