- francisofascii 2y agoIt doesn't seem to add any more value than Indeed. The old SO jobs site had job postings tagged with technologies (like the questions have tags). There were filters for compensation, tech, etc. There was a remote checkbox. I remember there being a better geographic filter. You could see the SO profiles of the people at the company.

It is Arlington VA or TX? No jobs in DC? Really?
