How to Ghost Old White Men With Your GitHub Flex
Ritvika Nagula, a Microsoft software engineer, practically hacked the late-stage capitalism job game by landing FOUR offers out of grad school, including from Amazon and eBay. She insists, 'the rĆ©sumĆ© is definitely the most important thing' for engineers, and flexed her side hustleāa Facebook chatbot powered by GoodReads APIāto show off that passion. Her secret weapon? GitHub, the anti-cover letter, where you prove you're not just copy-pasting from ChatGPT: 'Having the code out there... proves that you actually did something about it.'
