Your Resume Lives Where You Code

Static PDFs Are Dead

You've advanced your skills through AI. Nobody knows.

Your resume shouldn't live in Google Docs waiting for annual updates. It lives where you work. VS Code. Real-time evolution.

When people hire you, they're buying your brain mixed with knowledge of AI. Not your base skills. Your ability to leverage AI to actually build.

Skills develop through AI workflow. Prompt → learn → build → document. The documentation becomes proof.

Not corporate resume bullshit. Living evidence you actually build.

They're Buying Your Brain + AI

The problem: You learned advanced AI workflow. Built something real. Your skills evolved.

But hiring managers see "familiar with AI tools" on a static PDF. Everyone says that now.

What they actually want: Your brain. How you think. Mixed with proven AI knowledge. Not claims. Proof you can leverage AI to multiply output.

How you prove it: Real-time documentation in VS Code. Exact techniques. Exact results. GitHub commits showing evolution.

Not "I use AI." Proof you advanced through AI-assisted workflow.

How It Works

Basic (everyone does this):

• Learn skill through AI
• Maybe update LinkedIn
• Forget specifics
• Struggle to prove it later
• Hiring managers ignore vague "AI proficient"

Advanced (builders they actually want):

• Learn skill through strong prompting
• Moment of clarity hits
• Document exact workflow in VS Code resume
• Commit to GitHub
• Skills section updates real-time
• Proof exists
• Hiring managers see: brain + AI = multiplier

The Workflow

# Skills Evolution

## 2026-02-04: Advanced AI Workflow Integration
- Built custom agent for [specific task]
- Prompt engineering: [exact technique]
- Result: [measurable outcome]
- Repo: github.com/you/project

Exact date. Exact skill. Exact proof. No vague "proficient in AI tools."

Moment of Clarity = Document It

You just figured out how to chain Claude prompts for complex refactoring. That clarity fades fast.

Right now:

1. Open resume.md in VS Code
2. Add exact workflow
3. Note what clicked
4. Link to commit showing it working
5. Now you can teach it

Teaching proves understanding. Documentation proves you built it.

Why VS Code

• Where you actually work
• Version controlled (Git shows evolution)
• Markdown (clean, portable, no formatting hell)
• Integrates with workflow (no context switching)
• GitHub hosts it (public proof or private repo)
• Can automate updates through AI

Your resume becomes living documentation of skill development.

Advanced: AI-Assisted Updates

# Add skill to resume when you commit new work
git commit -m "feat: advanced prompt chaining" && update-resume.sh

Automate the documentation. Skills section grows as you build.

Not corporate HR keyword optimization. Real proof of real work.

The README Problem

GitHub READMEs are fine for projects. Weak for proving your evolution.

Resume in VS Code shows:

• Chronological skill development
• Exact techniques learned
• Repositories proving each claim
• Evolution visible through commits

README says what project does. Resume shows what you learned building it.

What This Proves

Not just skills listed: "AI workflow integration, Prompt engineering, Full-stack development"

Actual evolution documented:

• Feb 4: Learned advanced Claude prompting for [exact use case]
• Jan 15: Built custom agent solving [specific problem]
• Dec 2: Integrated AI workflow reducing [metric] by [amount]

Dates. Specifics. Proof.

Send GitHub link. They see resume file with chronological evolution, commit history showing real-time updates, repos proving each skill.

They're hiring your brain + AI. This proves you have both.

If they don't get it, they're not your employer.

Underground Exactness

Not "10 years experience in software development."

Exact:

• "Feb 2026: Built X using Y, solved Z problem"
• "Repo: github.com/proof"
• "Learned through AI-assisted workflow, documented technique"

Psychedelic exactness for resumes. Precise proof creating undeniable skill evidence.

Start Now

cd ~/projects
mkdir resume
cd resume
touch SKILLS.md
git init

Next time you learn something through strong prompting:

1. Document exact workflow
2. Note what clicked
3. Link proof
4. Commit

Your resume evolves as you do. Real-time. No corporate bullshit.

Not for everyone. That's the point.

If you're still updating LinkedIn annually, this isn't for you.

If you build, document, and prove - your resume lives in VS Code.

Real skills. Real time. Real proof.
