It's purely PR. They are showing their internal environment on Hacker News with a big button to check for openings at the bottom. It's a way to hire more employees, nothing else (and a pretty cheap way on top of that I would argue, the tool was already build, only the blog post was required). > It's strange to me to see a YC company so distracted by something this far outside of their core competency, especially to the point they would announce publicly all of the time and effort they put into it. They made this during an internal hackathon. This is not a distraction, it's just something that a few employees wanted to improve and they did it during a time that was allocated specifically to improve what employees wanted. You may argue that hackathon is mismanaging resources, but that's a whole other story.
