Ask HN: Is Jobs HN for FOSS?

  • It's impossible to get contributors for projects they don't use [1]. You need users. Once you get users you will get power users. Once you get power users, they may care and try to contribute.

    As I said in a previous post, where are the examples?

    Let's ask some questions:

    What type of garbage colector? No/Manual? Reference counting? Tracing?

    How do I loop 100 times?

    Can I add "1"+2 ? The result is "12", 3 or an error?

    [1] Except for very specific task, like fixing typos, or changing the GC, or rewriting the custom test method to use Github/codeberg/whatever actions.

  • To the best of my knowledge, posting to the Jobs page is a benefit of being a YC funded company.

    But you can use the contact link at the bottom to ask the moderators.

  • There’s nothing wrong with posting your openings, and indicating their exact nature. If anyone has a problem, you can always remove the post.
