Could you maybe link me one of those? I've googled a bit but didn't find ready-to-use DBs with that data.

Thank you, looks promising.

This should have "Show HN" tag Also you don't have to use selenium or HN api - there are DBs with updated HN data

Show HN is for things someone has made that other people can try and this is a write up which is perfectly fine as it is - https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Any chance you could run a comparison of the number of Rust vs Golang jobs over time?

I seem to have noticed that Rust has gotten more common than golang in the job postings, but it's hard to verify without code because there are so many false positives for "go" on any post.

Using a 100 billion parameter LLM to `grep --count` surely is something

I wonder how this would compare against a random sample of jobs on, say, Indeed or LinkedIn. My experience of Hacker News is that it’s a very biased group (in a good way) to the general industry.

I've heard that many of the jobs posted on general jobs boards like that are never intended to result in a hire. They are posted when the company already knows who they are going to hire, but are legally obligated to post the position, or when the company wants to manufacture evidence that "no qualified candidates" could be found locally.

I would say that's more prevalent in HN. A lot of the "Who's Hiring" posts are veiled show-and-tells. Some of those companies clearly have no intention of hiring. Even got an automatic rejection email from one of those (within a minute of applying). To be fair, it does work - I've discovered some interesting startups and market niches from the Who's Hiring threads.

Can't wait to be able to run this locally using electron.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Most reading material is just fine as a regular post and can't be a Show HN, thats very near the top of the thing I linked:

On topic: things people can run on their computers or hold in their hands. For hardware, you can post a video or detailed article. For books, a sample chapter is ok.

Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.

Things that can't be Show HN can be perfectly fine regular HN posts, just like this thing already is.
