But ... these job postings are difficult to discern from other posts. At least Google puts "Ad" in front of ads ...
A giveaway is that you can't comment on them :)
It is kind of ironic that so many professionals come to HN for a breath of fresh air, after which they continue building the UX they were escaping from in the first place.

How do you know this is true?
I'm guessing from what I see in incognito mode and logged-in. One reason I have a caveat in there, is that there is a button called hide, so you don't have to see particular stories.
Hot take: I think the lack of mobile support is a feature, not a bug. Mobile interfaces are responsible for much of the noise of mainstream social media, they encourage short form content creation because the interface is too simplistic and typing on a tiny touchscreen keyboard is unpleasant and error-prone. By making the only viable interface a desktop interface you put up an additional barrier to that type of noise…
I use HN for both browsing and commenting on my phone plenty, although it could always be easier and there are some warts.
IMO, Reddit is still usable but only via https://old.reddit.com . I still use Reddit daily, but I can't stand the horrific new design. I also highly curate my subscribed subreddits and use multireddits to combine subject matters. On Android I use Reddit Sync[1] (which has an ad-free pro version I paid a one-time $5 fee for).

I’m reading this on a phone, right now, and it’s perfectly usable.
Reddits "new UI" is so bad, surprised they're still trying to save it.
For me, the worst thing is how few comments show up by default in the comments sections. As a moderator of a large subreddit, the new UI is unusable because I can't quickly glance over a massive thread, I'd have to click through to a hundred sub-pages. If they ever remove old.reddit.com, I don't know what I'd do. It's a shame, because the redesign has some actually useful tools that I'd like to be using, but the basi…
