We Work Remotely: filtering the firehose

Status: Outline — full guide coming soon. Get notified when it ships →

What this covers

• The RSS feed setup that pulls WWR into your reader (no more browsing)
• The time-zone trap: "anywhere" tagged listings that demand 9-5 PT overlap
• The 4 keywords in a JD that mean "actually global" (and 4 that mean "US-only")
• The daily 10-minute review that produces 3-5 quality applications, not 30 spam ones

Why this matters for Indian devs going remote

WWR posts a high volume of remote jobs, but a large fraction are subtly US-only — same-tag, different reality. Without a filter pass, an Indian dev spends 90% of WWR time on listings that will silently reject. Done with discipline, WWR adds 5 quality apps a week to a search with almost no time cost.

Outline

RSS-based filtering

TODO — feed URLs by category, Feedly/Readwise setup, the daily morning skim.

The time-zone trap

TODO — listings that say "anywhere" but require PT overlap; how to spot in 5 seconds.

Truly-global JD signals

TODO — 4 phrases that mean global ("anywhere in the world", "no timezone requirement", "async-first", "all timezones"); 4 that mean US-only.

The 10-minute daily review

TODO — open the feed, archive 80%, apply to 3-5, log in tracker; how to time-box.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Browsing the WWR homepage instead of the RSS feed (lossy + slow)
• Applying without checking time-zone requirements
• Skipping the daily review for a week, then doing 1 hour of catchup

Templates / examples

TODO — RSS feed URLs by category, a JD-signal cheat sheet (printable card), and a 10-minute daily review checklist.
