A job request is the top trending github repo today. I was curious how this reached #1, as there was nothing clever or funny. Looking at the "stargazers", or people who were starring this repos, 99% of them joined Github on 10/08/16.

Is this something to applaud, condone, or shame?

The latter.

EDIT: repository depleted.

I agree - I figured posting to Hacker News was my way of "reporting". ;)
