freshers.dev
Your developer career, turned into a daily game
freshers.dev is a satirical daily career roguelike for developers. Sign in with GitHub, survive recruiters, layoffs, hype and burnout, then compare your ending on daily and all-time leaderboards. Play on the web or directly inside VS Code.
Hi Product Hunt,
I built freshers.dev because developer career advice often feels either too serious or too generic. I wanted to turn recruiters, equity, layoffs, hype, and burnout into a short daily game instead.
Sign in with GitHub, get a developer character, make a series of questionable career decisions, and compare your ending on the daily and all-time leaderboards. I also shipped a VS Code extension because apparently career anxiety belongs beside the code.
The game is free. I am launching it here as an experiment to find out whether people enjoy it enough to come back for another run.
I would especially value feedback on three things: Does the GitHub personalization justify the sign-in? Would you play again tomorrow? Does the VS Code extension feel useful or just amusing?
