Path is a free, step-by-step program with support from human coaches to help software developers get a job.
You’re not bad at job searching.
You’re following rules that don’t work anymore.
200+ applications. Zero callbacks.
Silence does not mean you’re unqualified.
It means no one is on the other end.
Mass developer layoffs mean more people competing for fewer jobs. AI automation means more spam jobs and a flood of robo-applicants. Overworked recruiters can’t hear you through the noise.

↓ What went wrong with developer hiring?
Finding a developer job has never been effortless.
But it used to be straightforward.

Economic contraction leads to layoffs and hiring cutbacks. AI spam means even more applications per job.

People with relationships and proof of work are visible. Candidates with just applications usually aren't.

To stop being invisible, you need to see what employers actually see.
Do you understand our business?
Hiring isn’t one market. Every company has different problems, priorities, and urgency. Some jobs stay posted long after hiring stops. Other teams are actively looking before they publish anything at all.
The people getting interviews understand why a company is hiring—not just that it has an opening.
I once interviewed a candidate who had only a year of experience but had a clear understanding of the company’s product and how their work would fit into the goals of the overall organization. He was able to clearly explain what their product is used for and what business value it had.
It blew my mind and made me rethink how I view my own day-to-day tasks.
Can we trust you with real work?
Employers don’t need perfect code. They need evidence that you can own problems, make decisions, and deliver something useful.
That kind of evidence builds credibility in a way a portfolio by itself doesn’t.
[…]the students who actually get hired are the ones who go well beyond the material into databases, testing, deployment, debugging real systems, and working with messy existing codebases. In the end, neither bootcamps nor degrees are enough on their own anymore[…]
Can someone we trust vouch for you?
Resumes, cover letters, and even coding interviews can be replicated by AI. A trusted recommendation from someone who genuinely knows your work cannot.
Relationships aren’t separate from experience and market understanding. They’re how you get both.
The conversations you have with engineers teach you how companies actually work. Those conversations lead to opportunities to contribute. Those contributions become evidence you can be trusted. By the time you apply, the application is secondary.
We built Path to help you become visible in a month.
Path helps you build those three things — market understanding, evidence you can be trusted, and relationships — so you show up where employers are actually looking.
Learn how companies actually think.
Build evidence people can trust.
Build relationships that grow your community — and your job opportunities.
Tomorrow: different tasks. But always building one of those three things.
Every day, Path tells you exactly what to do next
