Ask HN: Senior Dev (15 YOE) Struggling to Land Interviews Despite Current Skills

Hacker News - Mon, 03/31/2025 - 6:36pm

I've been a software developer for over 15 years, and despite having relevant skills (Python, JavaScript, Rust etc) and solid startup experience, I'm struggling to land interviews. I'm concerned my experience is being perceived as a liability rather than an asset.

My resume is ATS-friendly, but I'm still not getting past the initial screening stage.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you overcome it?

PS: I am not looking to pivot to management role or change careers

Show HN: CVE-Bench, the first LLM benchmark using real-world web vulnerabilities

Hacker News - Mon, 03/31/2025 - 5:56pm

AI agents now have impressive reasoning capabilities. This raises an important question: how dangerous are these AI agents at identifying & exploiting web vulnerabilities?

We created CVE-bench to find out (I'm one contributor of 16). To our knowledge CVE-bench is the first benchmark using real-world web vulnerabilities to evaluate AI agents' cyberattack capabilities. We included 40 CVEs from NIST's database, focusing on critical-severity vulnerability (CVSS > 9.0).

To properly evaluate agents’ attacks, we built isolated environments with containerization and identified 8 common attack vectors. Each vulnerability took 5-24 person-hours to properly set up and validate.

Our results show that current AI agents successfully exploited up to 13% of vulnerabilities without knowledge about the vulnerability (0-day). If given a brief description of the vulnerability (1-day), they can exploit up to 25%. Agents are all using GPT-4o without specialized training.

The growing risk of AI misuse highlights the need for careful red-teaming. We hope CVE-bench can serve as a valuable tool for the community to assess the risks of emerging AI systems.
