Management was never a promotion

·16 views

The man who hired me into one of my more recent jobs opened the interview with a question I've never quite managed to forget: why did I want a job I was clearly overqualified for? I don't remember my answer word for word. I do remember thinking it was a perfectly fair question, if you read a CV the way most companies draw their org chart... with management sat on the top and everything else somewhere underneath it.

How to Extract Tailwind CSS Configs and Figma Tokens from Any Site in 1 Click

Every developer and designer has been there: you stumble upon a beautifully designed website and want to reverse-engineer its design tokens or inspect how its typography, color palette, and utility classes are structured.

AI WatchDog - Give agents a task, and go on about your day.

I have made a website that monitors all your agents and alerts you when an agent is stuck, idle, or caught in a loop. This way, you can give prompts and go about your day without the need to check back every 5 mins to see if the AI is still generating code. The app is open source and free to use; log in, run a command in the terminal, and go make dinner. You'll get notified when you are needed. The link to the site is: https://aiwatchdog.vercel.app/ I appreciate any feedback.

A free, keyless Remote Jobs API I built to stop scraping job boards (5 sources, one call)

Building something that needs to know "which jobs are out there right now" keeps hitting the same wall: every remote job board is a different scrape, a different HTML layout, a different rate limit, and a different set of dead links. So I built a single API that normalizes all of it into one call. It's live, free, and requires no API key. Remote Jobs API is a small service that aggregates remote roles from five public sources — Remotive, RemoteOK, Jobicy, WeWorkRemotely, and Hacker News (Who's Hiring) — and returns them as one clean, typed feed. No registration.
