I'm a Software Engineer, working at Readwise. I was born in Russia and currently live in the US.

I love the work I do at Readwise, but I also like to work on side projects. Here are some that are still active:

rasulkireev··on Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year
https://github.com/builtwithdjango/builtwithdjango

This is not the best practice codebase as I wrote it when I was learning Django. But is it very applied. Any beginner should be able to understand this.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How are you dealing with the job market anxiety?
I agree with another commenter about reaching out to people directly. This is why I built TJ Alerts[0]. You can create an alert for a specific technology and will get notified every time a new job pops up.

Better yet, there is a search panel that would allow you to filter out all the jobs that have contact info, so that you can reach out directly.

Give it a try, would love to know what you think.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How do you keep track of people who inspire you?
1. save in a text file 2. save all their content to yacy, so i can search later
rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How is your job search going?
This has been a problem i saw from the day i deployed the app. This will be a major focus for the next round of fixes! thanks for mentioning this.
rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How is your job search going?
ooh, haven't done considered filtering by role. will think about it. for now you can search by tech you know best.

have to work on the dead positions, you are totally right.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How is your job search going?
Try using TJ Alerts[0]. Created it specifically for this use case. It's free. Has a bunch of cool filters and sorts (+ semantic search). Would love to hear your opinion. Will try to make it paid soon.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?
What you know best!

For me it would be:

*Django* for backend with the built-in templates. No frontend backend split.

TailwindCSS for styling.

StimulusJS for sprinkling JS wherever needed, which is not very often.

Postgres as my DB (although if I'm not integrating Stripe, SQLite will suffice).

Maybe Redis for caching and as a broker for background tasks, if needed.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: What are some of the best books you’ve read about memory and the brain?
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning, Thinking Fast & Slow and Predictably Irrational are the first that come to mind for me.
rasulkireev··on Ask HN: Any ways to find startups that are NOT remote?
I built a site for that recently. Simple job scraper, and there is a Remote filter. Here is the link to the current search results:

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How do you make time for side projects and Leetcode grinding
For me side projects are fun and so I often think about them and when I get the chance I just remember that really want to work on it.

Leetcode I don't like. I know I should do it, but it's not fun and it is never in my head, so I just don't ever find the time for that.

The lesson here is if you want to do something you will find the time. So phrase it or make it such that either of these to are fun for you to do.

rasulkireev··on Starting a new job after burnout
Running into a similar situation, would love to hear people's thoughts.

rasulkireev··on Show HN: Thank You, Hacker News
Yeah, HN is awesome!
rasulkireev··on Ask HN: What other news feeds do you read besides Hacker News?
Unfortunately I don't since I got heavily downvoted for posting a Crypto Tutorial I made. It wasn't scam or anything, just a func little tutorial on how to create your own crypto coin.
rasulkireev··on Ask HN: What other news feeds do you read besides Hacker News?
Lobste.rs is HN but for tech only.

> Escape the trap of binary thinking and accept that code serves a purpose and if that purpose is being met, it's fine.

Love this line! Thanks a ton for you thought, they are great and to the point.

rasulkireev··on Ask HN: How do you deal with shit code?
Just to be clear, I was not implying that I want to give up and not do it. (I love writing and fixing code). I was more alluding to the fact that every time I fix a bug, I just want to fix the whole thing.

Thanks a ton for your advice and thanks for the recommendation!

The target audience are businesses, hence why I thought to charge more. For now I'm testing if the product works and there is a need. Will adjust pricing and other components once I see some results.

I don't know of anything like that. Good project idea.

The idea of staying close to a niche is that there are enough of site where companies can look for candidates, so I don't want to compete with those.
