That's funny, I just asked the same thing. Usually employers aren't interested in people looking for jobs, they're interested in people that already have jobs.Maybe in an ideal world it would be otherwise, but we don't live in that world. When you don't have a job, you're kinda fucked.

Do these ever really even work? Can one person say that they've gotten a job from one of these?

Yeah, I've been crossing my fingers that they do some kind of reverse rug pull. I think most of the world is.

Smart marketing because it takes the wind out of your sails and then blows it right back and makes you feel like they're generous when all along they're just doing standard operating procedure.

Man, instead of "Thank you" they should've said "Fuck you"

Show HN: Screen recording your crappy startup

johnwheeler — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:04:33 +0000

Hi HN. I've been recording various startups for YouTube after they ask for it and I review it and give my honest opinion and show the difficulties I have in using some of the websites.

Some of the websites are not bad at all and they're they get good reviews. I would like you to take a look at my YouTube and also post your link here if you want me to review it.

Yeah, it's a good polished piece of software no doubt. I'm not denying that, but the hype it gets is just... I don't know.

I use Ghost TTY coming from iTerm for no other reason than I saw everybody else using and praising it.

Is there some special feature I'm missing? I would only call it a marginal improvement. If that. I fail to see what the big deal is.

Claude--even though it's smarter, it's probably not insane.

XAI rents out compute to anthropic. I feel like Sam Altman is behind this that little rat.
