Why is there no link in the top menu?

pg6• 19 years ago

Coming soon. (The link was initially only visible to YC founders; I'll turn it on for everyone in the next release in a couple hours.)

Edit: It will be more than a couple of hours. The good news is, the next release will have some big improvements.

Aha! I always suspected there was a secret area for YC founders. ;)

It would be helpful to see what city these jobs are in from the listing page...

pg6• 19 years ago

Ok, I added locations to the titles; presumably new submissions will follow suit.

joshwa2• 19 years ago

thanks!

Why aren't there comments on the job postings?

pg6• 19 years ago

I could enable it easily enough. But I thought that if people had questions they could just ask the posters, and they could if they wanted modify the post.

Please do add comments... I don't really like being snarky, but in lieu of comments I've added a post about one of the loopt jobs - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27310

I fondly remember the joelonsoftware jobs section (back before it was a paid service) when he allowed comments...people really tore into some of the postings.

Could you prevent the job items from intermingling with the regular news page items?

pg6• 19 years ago

That's intentional. The companies used to submit links when they were hiring, and I've tried to reproduce that. They'll slide off the frontpage like any story. The site just looks odd at the moment because there was accumulated demand.

dpapathanasiou2• 19 years ago

Well, if they must be together, could they be tagged consistently as "jobs" (e.g.) so they can be filtered out of the feed?

Alternatively, could you consider grouping all the job items under a separate page tab, next to "new | best | leaders | submit" or just use another subdomain for them, e.g. jobs.ycombinator.com?

Not everyone who reads news.yc is looking for a job, after all.

PG said hiring is obsolete, so what is the need for a jobs page on ycombinator :D

davidw• 19 years ago

Because there are still a lot of transaction costs out there:

Hiring is, in other words, not obsolete.

Joining a newly founded startup is different. It may legally be hiring, but in practice it can be more like being a cofounder.
