What about the Atlassian approach [0]? They give the recruiters a chance to prove that they can deliver excellence and if not, both parties know it won't work out. I think it's a good model for the employer and the job-seeker. p.s. I found

As others said, it would be good if you indicated only OS X support. I just assumed from the screencast that at least any *nix system would work. Surely making a Linux client isn't far off, though, right?

How do you treat blips in people's past? What if they had a bad year at university, for example, but have been consistently "A" players since beginning a career?

I agree, my point is mostly relevant to someone with some minimum level of technical ability. But providing a usable interface and "install" process for a static website generator is the missing piece here. Or a reversal to geocities days .

Ever since I installed Wappalyzer in my browser (detects what frameworks and technologies a website uses) more and more often I come across websites that I am shocked use so many backend and frontend frameworks. I'm shocked because that mea

What are the builtin and third-party libraries that people have had trouble with when using PyPy (modulo having to configure an appication to use PyPy at runtime instead of CPython)? For web-dev, scientific or otherwise? In particular, are

Indeed. Even though Wiki(pedia)s are now everywhere in people's online lives it's always a pleasant surprise when the execution is done right for something like Lanyrd to succeed. Nice work, Simon and Nat! Edit: spelling.

Agree with both points, especially the second. Their product and work feels like a great fit for YC. BTW, nirvana: at the risk of down-votes here I wanted to draw your attention to this comment I made on an older thread which you might no

I also agree. First time I came across their product it wasn't via HN and at first I just assumed they were one of the old-timers who were trying to be quirky with "cool" icons. Otherwise, good job on the product!

Hi nirvana, really enjoyed this comment thread, though a few days late on this post (got here via Hacker Newsletter, incidentally). Just wanted to suggest/request you write your own newsletter which I would definitely sign up for and hopefu

I want to use a bank's services and build a business relationship with the bank, not make deep personal relationship with the employees (though those aren't mutually exclusive). The courtesies you mention should go both ways. Why don't UK

<epiphany> A small non-technical founding team looking to hire the best technical person they can is effectively looking for a co-founder, not an employee. So you're right, the coder who would be willing to consider such early inv

Good idea, I put my name on the more detailed spreadsheet. I wouldn't mind being emailed at the address I entered there, if there's any need. Not sure yet if I'll have time for the DB and ML classes, but I'll try.

A recurring theme from great thinkers (perhaps mainly more in the East, though) over the ages. Glad to see it finding an audience on HN. This excerpt from Rumi seems apt: "Knock, And He'll open the door Vanish, And He'll make you shin
