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 rĂ©sumĂ© is definitely the most important thing' for engineers, and flexed her side hustleâa Facebook chatbot powered by GoodReads APIâto 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.' It's networking, hustle, and coding sauce all in one!

Tell me you're landing four mega tech job offers without telling me you're 100% grinding on GitHub while the old boys in suits still use fax machines. This is giving big 'I reinvented the hiring game while you reboot Excel' energy.
This rĂ©sumĂ© game is basically the software engineerâs version of 'I got my million-dollar startup idea while you snoozed through board meetings.' Spoiler: The chatbot didnât build itself, unlike those recycling old white dude jokes.
Forget cold-calling, Ritvika's out here turning GitHub into the new LinkedIn â but like, cooler, with less old white dudes calling their own references. If your code ain't public, do you even exist in tech?
