I recently came across an "open" job application at a startup, which was a form to submit your resume so the startup can build a pipeline of candidates for later, when they're ready to hire.

This led me to wonder, are some of the posted job opportunities at startups ghost openings just for pipeline building i.e. no intention to immediately hire but for later, provided a funding round materializes?

Please share if you know something about this, either as a job hunter or startup hiring manager.

I'm trying to decide whether the price of admission to an upcoming SaaStock conference (1K USD) is worth it for what I want out of it.

I'm on the lookout for a full-stack/front-end/eng. manager role in a SaaS startup. I'd like to meet startups that are hiring and pitch them my profile. I have my own bootstrapped SaaS business that I currently work on full-time but want to continue working on as a side hustle, while I work a full-time job.

Wondering if SaaStock is a quality conference that attracts hiring managers in startups.

Any tips from people who have attended this conference or found a job through attending a similar conference? Also tips on finding a job through meetups, conferences and other unconventional means are welcome.

This is a software engineering/software philosophy question.

I'm not a bitcoin code contributor. I'm a software dev and in my experience every software shows its age. It's either refactored or replaced by new software that builds on lessons from v1.0.

Since bitcoin is the first of its kind -- decentralized electronic money -- is it possible it will undergo refactoring in the future?

I can't think of any widely used software that's been running for 10-15 years, more or less with the original architecture or code.

How is bitcoin different than other software like linux, windows, macOS, etc, in that it won't have to be refactored from the ground up?

Just a thought that occurred to me years ago that I still haven't found the answer to.

I'm looking for advice on how to sell, activate, retain and engage users and prospects with an email campaign. It could be a book section or a small passage with relevant insights. I'm interested in reading about strategy, tactics, psychology, etc. from a practitioner.

I have a SaaS webpage that has poor aesthetics and want to change it asap. I know basic CSS and html and have experience using frameworks like uikit. But at the end of the day I'm an engineer with a sense of aesthetic appreciation but not aesthetic creation.

To use the most recent example I've come across, how do I go about building something like the linktree.com landing page?

I'm eager to learn whatever is necessary to design a beautiful webpage.
