  This founder has provided something of value to someone with tech skills looking for entry level tech employment. And you?

C'mon, don't advertise your website on a post where someone's looking for help. If you truly cared and didn't just want to advertise your service you'd have PMd the OP and your comment wouldn't sound so much like a marketing ploy.

  HN does not have private messaging, and OP has no contact info listed on their profile. So your suggestion would not be possible. OP, if you want people to be able to contact you privately and you have an email address or Twitter handle they can use, add it to the "about" section of your profile. The "email" field in an HN profile is not visible to others.

  Could you please help me understand what has @abinaya_rl done wrong? I can't find harm in any way I look at it. He offered the help he could. If the OP wants to take it, he can. He plugged his company while doing it, and others might benefit from getting to know about it. Where's the problem? He probably did it in a different way than you would, but still. What's wrong with that?

  I think we should follow the HN guidelines[0] here and interpret the parent comment in the most charitable way possible. Sure, you can see it as a (very shameless) plug, but the parent has provided a resource -- possibly a very good one -- that could help OP find a job. Even if the parent is almost certainly a bit biased about Remote Leaf, giving some random person on the internet free access to their service in an attempt to help them find a job and figure out how not to be homeless is a really nice gesture. I know if I ran (or worked for) a company that helped people find a job, and was confronted with someone homeless with skills that match my company's target audience, I'd be thrilled at the opportunity to throw some help their way.
