#15I did, I applied to a start-up with 2 people in 2018. I was hired as engineer number 1. Worked there for 2 years and left right before the series A investment and the team had grown to 35 people.
It was a pretty good experience.

#18HN is my favorite place to hire engineers for ipinfo.io - we’ve hired at least 10, although most of those have applied to jobs that I’ve posted on who’s hiring. I do browse who wants to be hired and ask people to apply who look like a fit too though.

While I was in school, I once got an internship through an HN monthly hiring thread. (Though this was a couple years ago, when the job market was probably a bit better.)
