- mixmastamyk 1y ago> "rules for job seekers, Carte blanche for companies" Sums it up nicely.
- dang 1y agoWhen I look at the top text, I see at least 2 rules that apply to companies. Edit: Btw, please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20quotation%20marks%20quoting&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... Edit 2: sorry, I was totally wrong about that! see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45106871 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45106871
- mixmastamyk 1y agoHuh? I cut and pasted from your first link above. Also you removed/downvoted my request that asked posters to identify regions they are hiring from, specifically one about Stockholm. I’m curious what motivates such actions.
- dang 1y agoOh sorry, I totally missed that! Your use of quotation marks was just fine. I thought you were being snarky (as people sometimes do) and apologize for making the wrong assumption. > Also you removed/downvoted my request that asked posters to identify regions they are hiring from Do you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095800 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095800? I didn't remove or downvote it. I did detach it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095292 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45095292 because it seemed to be a general comment that belonged at the top level, rather than a response to a particular job ad.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoWell it applied to the Stockholm post mentioned. Some posts do mention it, others don't. I replied to a don't. Wouldn't mind my post being moved to the "top" level, but in reality it means buried at the bottom. Especially since my account is a second-class citizen for some reason. Probably I had a bad day several years ago. :-/
