johnowhitaker · x · 2026-09-07
Jonathan Chang advises job seekers to pick a problem that interests them, genuinely spend time understanding it, write about it, and repeat — noting that "everyone who used to post their research got a job somewhere." Johnowhitaker endorsed the take: don't wait to be an "expert" or for perfection; just document your attempts at building understanding, even on an anonymous blog. The core idea: a public learning trail is itself the strongest hiring signal.
