• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  I also use it for its Popular Bookmarks - I subscribed to its RSS feed in NewsBlur and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are Empty (they rarely are). - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Killed by Google

  There's a bunch of replacements. I like https://newsblur.com but there are 4-6 large-ish similar sites. That said, partially what people miss is the relative cultural hegemony of Google Reader. It was RSS front-and-center, prominently featured on websites, supported by the biggest company in tech, with all the users there and able to take advantage of the (sparse) social features. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

  Referrals, especially among large tech companies with thousands of employees handing them out, hold less and less weight these days. Everyone and their dog has referrals these days and if you so choose you can even buy them on https://rooftopslushie.com from people with positions that carry much more weight than a step intern.

• Anyone else struggling with their coop job and worried about future

  4th-year CPEN (Computer Engineering) student, 84% average in last 2 years, 10 months of the internship experience, and yet nothing (got only 2-3 interviews and got rejected at HR rounds because they found another candidate). I am applying to almost 3 jobs/day and getting crickets. Got my resume reviewed by the coop office, senior SWEs at Faang companies, paid rooftopslushie.com to get it reviewed by HR, checked on...
