I've done the same with HN, somewhat. I log out by default, just to add a barrier between reading something and responding to it. Has to be something I really feel I must reply to or worth adding more information to, to make me log in.

Late to the reply: This is kind of beside my point. What I'm saying is if you can't hire me, that's fine, but I'd like a little bit less of my time wasted up front by stating clearly where a company is hiring instead of

I had something a little similar happen when I listed my Airbnb apartment on Google Maps. In their infinite wisdom, Maps decided it'd be best to merge my listing with the listing for the building it's in - but also gave me admin r

At the least, tools that minimise the usage of certain languages (i.e. JS if you're not a JS shop) or general frontend boilerplate will also do this. See: Rails Hotwire, Laravel Livewire, Alpine.js

Never thought of it this way, but it makes sense. My default response to probing/planning type questions from business is "uhhh no clue, I have to dive into the code first and find out" precisely because of this.

"Making money is easy, just go out there and make money" is effectively what you're saying. It takes time to find and execute these ideas. Yes the tech can be cheap, maybe even building it can be cheap, but the time to grow y
