Ask HN: When will “Who is Hiring?” be posted? It's past 9am Eastern

Generally the who's hiring posts are frowned upon in recent time. Since most people just consider it a race to cash in on free karma. Much like "Idea Sunday" or "Who wants to be hired posts"

  It's posted by a bot, avoiding the weird karma rush: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring He's asking when the bot posts.

    Yes, which says on profile: "This account automatically submits a 'Who is Hiring? (Month YYYY Edition)' post at 9 AM Eastern time on the 1st of every month." It is past 9 AM Eastern, no?

      Maybe the timezone didn't update from DST.

Maybe it's been canceled today due to the inevitable "Google seeks a new CEO" style of post.
