Ever looked at a job post and thought: “I can do this. But they won’t even look at me because I don’t check all the boxes”?
Yeah, me too.
Turns out, systems—especially hiring ones—aren’t always built for people like us: curious, self-taught, or simply different from the traditional mold.
But as devs, we know something most others don’t. Every system has vulnerabilities.
And if there’s one thing developers do well, it’s spotting them.
This isn’t about cheating the system. It’s about understanding it like a hacker: thinking strategically, moving with intent, and deploying your skills in ways that break barriers.
Whether you're a junior dev trying to get noticed, or a mid-level engineer stuck behind gatekeepers, this playbook is built for you.
🔓 Tap in to explore how to:
- Reverse-engineer job descriptions
- Use side projects as payloads
- Network like you're debugging your dream job
- Build visibility with intention (not noise)
Think of this less like a career guide and more like a terminal prompt for change.
