Moved from SWE at big tech to bootstrapping zcal.co - we've helped over 100,000+ people make scheduling meetings less painful.
Founders and SWE managers I talk to say they’re struggling to find people to hire.
SWEs looking for jobs are saying the market is worse than they’ve ever seen it.

Is the discrepancy really that there isn’t enough good SWE talent?

Social media platforms tend to disallow external links - it allows users to navigate away from their site and hurts metrics.

Pretty cool that Bluesky allows them though.

Tried to teach my Dad about ChaGPT - told him it could answer any question.

He asked it “What color shirt am I wearing?”

Freebie for developers and designers #buildinginpublic ✌️

I made over 70 SVGs of squiggles, scribbles and... other stuff for you to use in your projects.

Customise them with over 200 pre-made palettes, and download as SVG when you're ready to use.

Oh, and they're totally free!
