My theory, YC software team has been building features like https://www.workatastartup.com/ https://www.workatastartup.com/ and so YC companies are posting less on HN.
- jibe 4y agoOr companies are cutting spending in anticipation of a recession.
- water-your-self 4y agoMost of the titans are in a hiring freeze or have choked non essential hiring.
- MisterSandman 4y agoI don't think those titans posted for jobs on here anyway.
- mountainriver 4y agoThis is the obvious answer
- CabSauce 4y agoOr HN traffic is down. Or people don't hire into the holiday season, or tech is down. There are countless things that could drive that number. We can't tell from a few monthly counts.
- earthscienceman 4y agoNo. It's the answer that fulfills your own confirmation bias. "Obvious" is never a word you should use when you can quantify the truth.
- pessimizer 4y agoNo, it's the obvious answer, so it's less interesting to speculate about than alternative, less obvious answers.
- moffkalast 4y agoPerhaps _too_ obvious.
- pc86 4y agoMost of the Who's Hiring posts are non-YC companies
