stackoverflow careers finds you remote work rather than you finding it

Can you explain how that works? It looks just like a normal job search engine to me

Needs a moderation policy. The #1 posting is currently "Fart engineer"

I wanted to apply, but both this and the Wizard position don't work. It seems anything with an apostrophe throws a 500.

You got to add moderation.

This is what I see out there:

It may be beneficial to check what kind of URLs the job posters can submit as Job Urls, it's a popular attack vector

I have not seen any leads on remote work through SO Careers. Maybe I'm blacklisted, or just terrible at my job and don't know it.

I got my current position through SO Careers. :)

"The best place to find remote jobs." I get really annoyed when such blatantly false statements are slapped onto a website. If you can't say that honestly then it is a great opportunity to be creative with messaging and say something that adds value. This has been a pet peeve of mine for as long as I've been running online businesses. Our competitors are always #1... all of them, at the same time.

why do you care? it's a Show HN, it's obviously just the tagline the one dev made up to show off a weekend project to their internet colleagues.

So its not the best right now, but at least they have a goal.
