Yal won't listen to me so listen to my guy Jason Dion . If you don't have any experience or a degree. Unless you are exceptional, certifications are the only things that recruiters and hiring managers have to go off of skill wise on your resume.

5 free GitHub bots for trading on Polymarket… 5 different strategies for 5 different trading situations. Each of these tools comes with a detailed step by step setup and usage guide in English: 1. This bot can automatically manage your limit orders to maximize liquidity rewards (useful for liquidity providers on Polymarket). GitHub: 2. The bot, which analyzes the real behavior of any Polymarket trader, finds repeated patterns in his trades, explains which strategies he uses and how you can actually adapt them to your own trading. GitHub: 3. A bot with 118+ ready to use strategies and tools for prediction markets, including Smart Money, Binance-Polymarket latency, Mean Reversion and more… The most interesting one is Polymarket - Kalshi Cross Arbitrage - it finds differences in prices between platforms and can manage trades automatically. GitHub: 4. A Chinese weather bot that analyzes multiple sources in real time, like forecasts, public airport data and aviation observations (METAR + SPECI) and then generates a detailed weather report for a specific city and day. GitHub: 5. This is a bot-toolkit that includes copy trading, arbitrage, market making, spread farming, whale alerts, sports trading and more… GitHub: Almost every tool here has a DRY RUN mode, so you can test them on real markets, but with fake funds.

A builder wants to ship an agent that can search live data, use it instantly, and keep going without manual steps. That is why OptimAI Search now ships with x402, SDK, and MCP support. x402 makes access and payment seamless. SDK and MCP make integration straightforward for builders. And under the hood, OptimAI Search gives agents real-time access to huge volumes of public and social web data, structured into context they can actually use. Add Agent Marketplace on top, and domain knowledge becomes reusable: build specialized agents, publish them, and let others build on what you create. This is what search looks like in the agent-native internet. 💡Try it:
