#6I've spent 10 years in the classifieds (including jobs) market as a software engineer...
As employee and/or employer I would go for more local/vertical websites/newsletters. There's no community such as StackOverflow outside of it, so you have to narrow down your scope somehow. Posting on LinkedIn is a mess. I've talked with many people looking for devs and they pay a lot of money for a lot of low-quality applications, it's even worse for remote companies: If they specifically state they look for people in EU timezones they'll receive anyway 100+ CVs from India or other countries.
So, LinkedIn is a mess, general job posting websites miss all the stuff a developer/company hiring developers needs, I love HN jobs but it's too much of a niche, remoteok or similar are too broad in scope.
There's space to build stuff and make some money if you play well your game.
Shameless plug: I recently launched one newsletter for remote-friendly companies hiring Italian developers that already reached ~900 subscribers and I already received requests for sponsorships. So there's interest in these kind of stuff.

#7We've been featuring 3 devtools companies that are hiring for technical roles in the weekly https://console.dev/ newsletter since the start of this year. It's been seeing some very good click -> application rates.
We're now in the process of building out profiles on the website and are working with the companies to add interesting details about things like dev processes, tools used, tech stack, how planning works, how on-call works, etc.
Bit different from what SO does/did with our devtools focus. Our inspiration is the Joel Test, if anyone remembers that! https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s...

Shhh... We need to keep it a secret!
(Just kidding)
But, worth pointing out: A job board is only good when it's low-spam; and that does require some moderation. If we start getting lots of spammy / uninteresting jobs; or job posts get lots of spammy applications; the usefulness of these threads will errode.

#9I know this site likes to stay lean, but a jobs section outside of just YC companies would be cool.
