how the hell do you post this and then also another comment that says nobody should pay their developers? which is it? don't go into debt, or don't get paid?!

it would be great to know what your startup is so i know just how low the low bar is set

you're a dishonest liar. to quote you: "That individual worked FOR FREE for 3 years 25 hrs/week before collecting any money." so... yeah. you did say they worked for free. you're a…

tell me where to send the spec that you're going to just build for free

this is ridiculous. you expect people to give you their labor for free? not only expect it, but CELEBRATE IT IN ALL CAPS?! and you encourage others to not have to pay a developer a…

Hi - I'm curious how you all think the Who's Hiring posts could be improved. Personally, I'd love to see more from companies about their interview processes. Definitely the overall…

so what's the way to do this that doesn't break the rules? just an Ask HN post about how to improve Who's Hiring posts?

that's not what happened. if you click the link you included, your "self-respect?" comment isn't on that thread at all. because it was a reply to my comment. you're intentionally m…

The link addresses the "If they know you can't get more elsewhere" portion of what you posted, but I didn't respond substantially to the rest. Thanks for the chance to expand. > "a…

Companies literally collude to keep salaries down. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/24/apple-goo...

edit: he did not delete my comment, it was below the fold. sorry. my question is still the same though. yup, dang already deleted my comment on Who's Hiring. what's your issue with…

Once again, I'll post this. Admins will probably send it to the bottom, but it's especially important now that companies tell us about their process so that we can compare and expe…

What are you on about? Here's the post I replied to below, it said nothing about self-respect. You're the one who brought that up and still haven't explained how compensation facto…

From an HN admin this is pretty off-putting. If I work for a company and I'm earning them millions of dollars, you're saying that I don't deserve to be compensated proportionally, …

> Last I checked, I was 9700 kilometers away from California. Not everybody on HN is from Silicon Valley. So... you have strong labor where you live? Where do you live? Employment …

just write it yourself, you don't need their permission!

exactly! if you're taking home the same salary whether you're creating massive value for the company, why bother?

"not hiring a good candidate is way better than hiring someone who turns out to be bad." is it though? CA is at-will employment, so there's literally nothing stopping a company fro…
