#112I was really confused about the middle-of-nowhere-Kansas tech hub until I realized it's just the middle of the US.

#113Saw this and had to sign up to post this comment:
I'm basically building this the other way round by listing programmers worldwide. Currently, you can view the top 15 programmers of specific cities along with projects and language statistics, but I plan on adding a worldmap for the most influential programmers worldwide. To see a city, you can check San Francisco for example http://programmermap.com/area/san-francisco-ca-usa/

#114Nice.
I think there is some bugginess in looking at remote jobs:
- In the "Europe" search with remote set to "yes" I see my posting for "Automattic"
- Change the location to "Boston" and it is not there (and neither are any other remote jobs.
- Also, shouldn't remote be defaulted to 'yes' :)

#115Bug Report #1: 1. Scroll to the bottom of the list on the right. 2. Click to expand the final item in the list. 3. There is no visual cue that you can now scroll down further to see the expansion. The first item in the list that I click on was the final list item, and I thought that nothing had happened (Note: This could just be an issue with OSX's hidden scrollbars. I can't see if you've disabled it on all platforms…
Might as well keep all the bug reports in the same thread.
I noticed one more thing on the job posting text: the word-breaking is a little off. Here's a image with one example: http://i.imgur.com/Zuv1Zjc.png CSS's word-wrap: break-word is probably not want you want to be using for that container.
One other thing I noticed but that isn't a simple fix is postings like this one from HubSpot[1] list two locations Cambridge MA and Dublin Ireland but the ad only shows up in Dublin. I thought I'd point it out if you're looking for some more work :D
This is awesome.

#116This is awesome. Seriously. I never go through the regular "Who is Hiring?" thread because I don't have time to comb through a humongous list of unfiltered text posts, 90% of which aren't relevant to me. There have been other attempts to format the thing, but this is the best I've seen so far. One minor bug: I'm seeing a listing titled "---" that starts with "I am a Junior Front End Developer. I eventually want to go…
It's easy enough to just Ctrl+f for your location name, my biggest complaint is all the entries that don't say what their company does. It's all well and good that you're in my city and I'm familiar with the tools you use, but if you can't be arsed to include a single sentence description of why your company exists, I'm much less likely to care. Bonus points if your description isn't buzzword laden nonsense.
This has become far more annoying now that many descriptions include something like "We have offices in xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx" etc. but are only offering a position in one location.

I've never understood why a single-page list of unfiltered, free-form text is the go-to method of doing hiring threads on HN. A Google Form with defined fields would at least keep things ordered more instead of the hundred different varieties of the same info we have now.

#120Grid Versions http://www.jobdensity.com/QueryGrid.aspx?q=936&t=Software%20... http://www.jobdensity.com/QueryGrid.aspx?q=938&t=python&qt=6... http://www.jobdensity.com/techsector.aspx
Thanks for that link! It's interesting to check it against my site's jobs-per-location data: http://techjobs.me/stats/city_stats
At a glance, there doesn't seem to be that much of a correlation in the respective sites' data sets, but that's probably partially explained by the fact that we filter out all recruiters and certain large companies, outsourcers, and consultants (which gives the startups a heavier weight in influencing the rankings).
