Ask HN: Mysterious hacker news post
Just saw this post on HN and don’t see someone associated with it. I normally see a username any ideas why this one does not have one?

- mtmail 9y agoThat's a job ad. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html "The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time."

- titusblair 9y agoI found that interesting myself
- mtmail 9y agoThe post doesn't show up in the user's list of submissions https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=thedogeye https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=thedogeye Those ads must be quite an exception (hack?) in the HN system.
