What interests me the most is how some states seem to almost repel the kinds of startups that would post on HN. The northern midwest looks particularly bad on this map.

#122Excellent work! Why are there so many startups in San Francisco?
Re: Show HN: “Who is hiring?” Map
#123This is great. It's crazy how huge the Who is Hiring thread has become since it began on HN. Browsing it has gone from a quick scan through to a time consuming process, even using Ctrl + F and other shortcuts.
I've been looking forward to a tool that would make going through the posts easier, so very happy to see this!

#124I've tried it and the work location on the map seems incorrect.
I'm looking at a specific location, eg: Philippines, but the work location that's been pin in the map are from the US.

#125This is great. I noticed a lot more exposure based on the emails coming in. Also awesome to see other companies in my city who are hiring and on HN as well.

#126Is this open source? On Github or anything like that?
Re: Show HN: “Who is hiring?” Map
#127I would love it if you can add a "Reset" function which would zoom out the map to default state. After digging in deep enough its a pain to get back to zero state.

#128Sad to see Africa so empty!
Great job! :)

#129Classic "why didn't I think of that"
Re: Show HN: “Who is hiring?” Map
#130I'm floored by the wide geographic range of listings. Sure, the gross majority are in SF, NY, & London (all English-speaking cities to boot!) but Zurich? Belgrade? Maui? Wow.
Yes, it is quite the variation. I know I have recommended posting on this thread to anyone looking for tech talent. I haven't seen a demographic survey of the HN population, but from my anecdotal experience it is far wider than the SF/NYC tech scene.
The Maui opportunity is, unfortunately, just an unpaid internship (they are upfront about it in the listing at least). I wonder what kind of uptake they got...
