Marketing, especially for technical B2B products | SF | TR Jordan | terraljordan gmail I used to be a developer, now I do sales and marketing. It's fun. I like talking to people who are thinking about making the switch, or people who have found themselves trying to sell/market a technical product.

Leadership and Management | Los Angeles | Weston J | wes@eagerlabs.com For full disclosure, I am founder of a venture backed startup (eagerlabs) that does this as part of a product offering for companies. I also do mentoring on the side in LA, Boston, and really anywhere in the world, in a less formal manner, including in areas such as high scale web development, ops and automation, and more. I love to continuously give back to our community, so please don't hesitate to reach out.

JavaScript & Web Apps | Ohio | Nathan Friedly | nathan@nfriedly.com I've been building websites and apps for quite a while now, and have mentored a number of people both locally and remote. I'm currently doing a lot of Node.js and React, but I've also worked with Angular, Ember, jQuery, etc. as well as lots of vanilla JS and other back-end languages. I have a 3-year-old son, so my time is a bit more limited these days than it used to be, but I'm still happy to provide advice and mentoring as needed.

React | Remote (Slack Group) | 200+ people learning React themselves, but eager to help others | https://slack-the-road-to-learn-react.wieruch.com/ https://slack-the-road-to-learn-react.wieruch.com/ It is a Slack Group where people help each other to learn React. Primary it is aimed for people reading the book "The Road to learn React", but the community is growing beyond it. Learning something by helping others can be a great way to internalize your own learnings. That's why everyone is eager to help.

Did this post get censored? And why? Is anyone else not seeing this on the front page (or any page after that)? It's not on Ask HN either...
- grzm 9y ago
  You might want to contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer. The monthly "Who's hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?" threads are posted by the whoshiring user as part of HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring This may have gotten flagged because it may be misunderstood as a more official posting such as those. The mods may chime in here. For a more expedient response, I'd contact them via email. Edit to add: at the time of this posting, this submission is ranked 43, appearing on the second page.

      For many years people have posted these sorts of variations on the 'Who's Hiring' threads. It's long been a standard moderation practice to demote such submissions because they (obviously?) don't meet the HN guidelines' primary criteria. That's all that happened here. If we didn't do that, the front page would fill up with these, because everyone has a different idea of what sort they'd prefer. That's particularly to be avoided on the day when the 'Who's Hiring' is already on the front page and the other regular threads are on /ask. I agree that it's nice for people to offer mentoring to others. We've reduced the penalty on the current submission so it shows up high on /ask.
