Looks like an interesting product that you're designing. Wondered if you'd have any need for anyone with devops experience at all?

Thanks! We're only hiring full-stack right now. We need a broad set of experience (dev-ops, front end + design, .NET back end, etc) rather than specialization since we're such a small company right now. But, feel free to apply anyways so I can add you to our pool of non-full stack candidates for when the time is right for us and we can stay in touch!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I get that you feel strongly against this rule and how we choose to moderate the Who Is Hiring threads. But we've been over this at least three times, for over a year now, and I'm not sure what else to say. I don't see anything new to respond to here. You just strongly disagree. That's fine; I understand your argument and it's a good one; it's just not as strong, in my mind, as the opposite consideration. It's my job…

I do disagree with the rule, but I fear you're having a knee-jerk reaction either to me or to any criticism of the rule and thereby missing my point, which I don't believe you've addressed at all: If you can explain in a short, simple sentence what the broader purpose of the rule is, then do so in the rule itself. Brevity may be the soul of wit but, but I expect a higher standard than rule wittiness from HN. The http…

I think you might have a mistaken idea of how precise such guidelines can be. There are always border cases and exceptions. Trying to nail them down completely makes them complicated, which only generates more border cases and exceptions, not to mention the literalistic sort of objections that only consume time and generate even more objections.

That's why both the HN guidelines and that Who Is Hiring rule are written in simple language that gets the bulk of the point—the spirit of the law—across, without pretending that there isn't still room for interpretation. Readers are expected to interpret them reasonably, and in practice this works just fine. Sometimes they interpret them differently from how we do, and then we try to explain better, on a case by case basis. It's ad hoc and imprecise, which is exactly how something as messy as a large internet forum needs to operate.

Corbalt | Software Engineer | Remote | Full Time or Contract | https://jobs.lever.co/corbalt/

Corbalt is a small startup working to build better software infrastructure for government.

Corbalt was born out of the problematic launch of healthcare.gov. We were part of the tech team that came in to help fix healthcare.gov and were inspired by how much everyone cared and worked hard to fix the site (from tech team members, to government contractors, and government employees), and how much progress we all made in a short time.

We're a small team with experience at Google, Palantir, Bell Labs, and Silicon Valley startups. We work remotely (currently USA only) by default and are spread across New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and California.

We build software in Go and Python (but it's not important that you already know these languages).

Among other things, we value kindness and growth-oriented mindsets on our teams.

Hey, a friendly note to remote job seekers There are few automated aggregation sites available to curate the jobs posted in this thread but I want to take the aggregation one step further and wanted to provide the good quality remote jobs by handpicking them. I’m going to search, screen, verify and tag all the remote jobs posted in this thread. So it can save you time, energy, and frustration – and hopefully, help yo…

The site looks great, but when I clicked the "Start Trial" button and scanned through the categories, there were literally none that applied to me (non-web backend/distributed systems, Rust/C++/Java). That gives me the impression that this site isn't really meant for people like me.
