Jobs never had comments. They're not ordinary items like stories and comments; they just get displayed similarly on the frontpage. You may be thinking of times when people posted jobs as ordinary posts.
- tptacek 15y agoYes, that's what I'm talking about: submissions to HN with the Text set to a job ad and no URL. As I recall, YC companies were allowed to submit those, but (for example) I couldn't for Matasano (I'm fine with that).
- pg 15y agoWhen YC cos did that it was by mistake. A job listing submitted as if it were a story would not end up on the jobs page. We're now careful about telling everyone to submit jobs as jobs.
