hi, I’m Aryaman

video coming soon

why I’m building this

I got tired of applying into the void.

I auto-applied to hundreds of jobs and heard almost nothing back. I’d rather spend that time building real things and actually find out how good I am. So I’m building that.

how it goes now

apply

wait…

rejected (no reason)

rewrite resume

repeat
×200

break the loop

how it should go

real startup problem

build it

get real feedback

get noticed ★

get better
every round

what I believe

Five things I’m sure of.

  1. A resume doesn’t say much anymore.

    Anyone can make a perfect one in seconds now, so they all look the same.

  2. More applications won’t fix it.

    When applying feels like a lottery, everyone buys more tickets, and every ticket gets worth less.

  3. Nobody’s the bad guy here.

    Companies are drowning in applications. Engineers are just trying to be seen. Both are stuck in the same loop.

  4. Real work is the signal you can’t fake.

    Show what you built on a real problem, and the resume stops mattering.

  5. Getting better and getting hired should be the same thing.

    Every problem you solve should make you sharper and easier to notice, at the same time.

Real work instead of the resume game.

  • invert a binary tree

    Fix a bug real users actually hit

  • “we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates”

    Get notes on what was good and what to fix

  • guess what the job is like

    Do the actual job, the way startups do it

  • apply to 200 roles and pray

    Let your work get you noticed

It’s early.

I’m building this right now, so there’s nothing to try yet. Join and you’ll be first in, and you’ll help decide what it becomes.
