Monthly HN thread where engineers and developers post availability, stack, and location for direct hiring outreach.
Key Takeaways
Candidates span Brussels, NYC, Prague, Croatia, Bolivia, Austin TX, Scottsdale AZ, and Washington state – strong remote availability across the board.
Dominant stacks: TypeScript/Node.js, Python, React/React Native, Swift/iOS, with recurring mentions of LangGraph, RAG, agentic workflows, and pSEO.
Several posters have 10+ years or senior/lead titles; specialties include FPGAs/formal verification, Django MVPs, distributed systems, and award-winning iOS apps.
Most candidates are open to contract, part-time, or full-time; relocation willingness is mixed but remote is near-universal.
Hacker News Comment Review
The thread skews toward senior generalists and full-stack engineers; AI/agentic workflow experience (LangGraph, RAG) appears in multiple profiles, reflecting current hiring demand.
A standout profile built production infrastructure serving 300k+ indexed pages with 99%+ hallucination reduction on legislative data, signaling applied AI work beyond prototypes.
iOS depth is notable: one candidate lists 17 years Swift/Objective-C with Apple-featured and NYT/Forbes-covered apps, rare in job threads.
