> engineers who've worked with them (or reviewed their OSS contributions) could validate or challenge that [skill]

I like your idea of verifiable skills but I don’t think the proposal is solid. We need a trusted third-party as a validator so everyone is happy. Otherwise, we bring bias and corruption into this.

The problem is currently solved by professional certification — yes it could be gamed but it provides an official confirmation from a reputable source rather than someone’s word that you’re good.

Please keep iterating! We need better tools!

Thank you for the feedback, I appriciate it. The idea is to avoid the corruption and bias by hand picking a starter deck of super trusted few professionals who would be able to verify others.

For example to prove someone is an senior engineer from google I can ask for a pay slip and references and yes certifications, so we would become that rusted partner. Still working on the proposal and iterations, I wanna talk to much engineers, hiring manages as possible since this is going to be for everyone, to navigate this wild job market.

We definitely need better tools, at the moment it is wild that it takes 1000 of applications to just get an answer from any company, this not right at all

I did the same thing for a month and saved a lot of money. Thinking about how much you need to pay and how much you’ll have left before handing over the cash is an important step that is often not done for contactless payments.

I can see the point of agent-first workflows in the future where we interact with agent UI instead of SaaS/PaaS dashboards but I don’t think every other problem and subsequently a solution will need to be agentified. A massive chunk of interactions would still require a good-old UI i.e. filing taxes, signing contracts, banking, e-government etc.

Why? Of those, the only one that still might need a UI is signing contracts.

Reads like this and that social network for AI agents makes me depressed. Authors have to cut the LLM dosage.

The PostToolUse hook tip for formatting Claude's code is the only actual tip here. Everything else reads like marketing copy.

That’s in the docs though
