Anyone in NYC looking for someone low-level? I'm primarily a reverse-engineer, but kernel and compiler dev is all good as well. I've been considering a move over that way, but haven't seen much outside of web and finance stuff.

#22I've been torn between going to SF or staying in Boston. Interesting to see NYC might become a contender.

#23I would love to see this happen in Boston. I'll be the first one to offer up my couch.
Good job on Hackers and Founders last night. Kind of fun to be in the middle of college football fans discussing social media.

Where are you located? I am currently in Boston. My tech is going to require low level linux hackery to get performance to the next level.

I'm currently located in a little town in PA, but location really doesn't much matter to me. My email's in my profile if you want to talk about it.

#26So aside from the slightly graphics-heavy website, I'm kinda impressed by the offer (and I live in San Francisco).
What it has me thinking is that we should really do this for San Francisco - and not just 'come couch surf' but a consorted effort perhaps around a one day conference or bar-camp style event to showcase and talent match.
The idea would be to attract the developer living in the rest of America (ie not CA, NY or WA/Seattle) who is intrigued about moving here to join a startup. You see folks asking about moving in "Ask HN" threads all the time, so why not organize a specific event?
The economy in SF is fairly hit because of the financial sector and economic downturn - but tech companies of all sizes, from startup to BigCo, are hiring developers and related people to the extent that we can't find enough people. This is a GREAT time to move to San Francisco if you are a dev.
What do others think about running such an event? BarCampOutOfTowner, perhaps?

#27Fine, I'll say it. Also why NYC rocks: tons of amazing women.
Seconded. NYC women > SF women any day of the week. There is an absolute dominance in the ratio of available women to men. Scientific statistical data gathering aside, I can personally attest to the fact that there are entirely too many women to go around. I also know quite a few smart, beautiful women who are afflicted by this lopsided ratio and are looking for functional guys.

#28Wow. The website is basically just images. There is no text int he source. Every word is part of an image. Each option in the menu at the top is an image of text. The whole "Dear Hackers" pretty thing is an image. Then the "Get Started!" button is another image. Then the "Ambassadors From" section is one big image that includes both the heading and the logos. Then the "Success Stories" section is also one image, incl…
They built the site in a day. Cut the dudes some slack.
Are you saying that they couldn't add text to the page (outside of images) in a day?

As someone who wants to move to the Bay Area next year, I would love this. I have zero idea as to where I would fit, but this would be awesome.
