   Actually we have all the features that you mention - I posted the links to our job boards in another comment.

   It's not there yet but planned to be added in the future. Convincing companies to publish real salary brackets is not an easy task and therefore we also want to balance it a bit.

   Salary transparency should be the standard.

   Yes! We run a job board platform in Europe (and just entered the US market last year) Turns out that developers really appreciate a no-bullshit approach with: - mandatory salary brackets - full tech stack and easy filtering - our own dev ma

   They run the top most visited by developers website. Which means the supply is already there. Companies would do basically everything to reach the developers, so I this would be a perfect match.

    +1 on that. We are using it on sites that generate between 15 and 100k monthly views [1], and it works flawlessly! Also has a super easy API to add custom events (gone is the nightmare of configuring it in GTM) [1] https://devitj

    This way I can also reason that you are also directly harming people because you breath in Oxygen and breath out CO2. By shopping for food you are also creating an economical incentive for companies to produce which accelerates climate chan

    There is a big difference between things that are directly harming to other people and things that the gov bans because they think they know better :) It is basically saying: You are forced to participate in our inflationary financial syste

    And how exactly do you make it illegal? Arrest people that own Bitcoin? Or ban them from the internet. Good luck with that :)

    Good luck banning internet access. Even if you ban crypto exchanges and money transfers to them, you cannot ban a single entity called Bitcoin Co, nor you can ban individuals from possessing it. You could potentially ban crypto miners from

    Agree on that - spent a few years in Switzerland and consider it the best place for devs in Europe. Beautiful lakes and mountains are another nice perk there.

    Happy to be a part of the team for this project. Some funny fact: we are very lean when it comes to development and have 0 (Zero) automated tests.

    Yes, that's the most straight-forward model - companies paying posting the jobs. You could theoretically also serve some relevant ads (products or services for Software Engineers) but the conversion would be probably very poor.
