> Jobs and Developer Story will no longer be supported as of April 1, 2022.
- erikon 5y agoCould it be April Fools'?

- jader201 5y agoWow, thanks, I had no idea. I even missed the previous HN thread on it (I follow HN150 on Twitter, so mostly only check out stories that hit 150 points). What’s crazy is that I haven’t received a single email about them deprecating Jobs. I think they have my most up-to-date resume, so I may have lost that (maybe they’ll send something out later this month, but seems like most companies give a longer heads-up when deprecating products).
- BoorishBears 5y agoI got an email about it from SO.
- Icathian 5y agoI may be confused. April 1, 2022 is almost a month from now. You haven't lost anything yet?
- ams92 5y agoI got multiple emails from them about the depreciation.
- jesstelford 5y agoYou've still got a few days (up to March 31st)! You can save it as PDF directly from your Developer Story, but if you want it in another format, you'll have to use a third party tool. Shameless plug: I was pretty bummed too, so I built a JSON exporter that anyone can use: https://developerstory.dev/stackoverflow https://developerstory.dev/stackoverflow
- randomsilence 5y agoWhat's their reason for shutting it down? The older submissions mention that they want to focus on managing company images. Why would they shut down before establishing the new income stream? What happens if it doesn't work out? Will they shut down completely in a year or two? Besides, if they are not operating at a loss, why not keep the job board running and improve it until it is the market leader? They know what people search. Who is better positioned to bring programmers and companies together? What do I miss that makes it impossible for them to continue?
- randomsilence 5y agoPuneet Mulchandani's answer is there: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/415293/sunsetting-jobs-developer-story/415408#415408 https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/415293/sunsetting-j... > less than 1% of our monthly users engaged with Jobs > Most employers found our sourcing system too restrictive or difficult to work with > We would need to spend a lot more time & effort to address these issues But why does it matter? It's all automated.
