> value as a latent hiring marketplace
StackOverflow has been trying to monetize this aspect of its user base for a few years now [0], but has not made much headway as far as I can tell.

(By the way, if 200 people seems like a lot, keep in mind that more than half of them are working on Stack Overflow Careers). >We could just slow down our insane hiring pace and get profitable right now, but it would mean foregoing some of the investments that let us help more developers. Which implies they are making a few bob from careers etc if they could slow hiring and be profitable with 200 employees.
