I'm not really sure how to respond to this since you're not providing any specific rationale for your arguments. I think you may want to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html if you haven't read it in a while.

I'll assume good faith and respond to what I think your argument probably is: Maintaining separate accounts just to prevent phishing is basically security through obscurity. All you're doing is adding some level of implicit trust to messages you receive on your "work account", which isn't actually secret and can probably be discovered by a sufficiently motivated person.

Discord | Security Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime | ~$150k - $250k base + equity + hoodies (equity/hoodie split subject to negotiation)

Hello friends! We're hiring engineers for our brand new security engineering team. Check out the description here: https://discordapp.com/jobs/4362278002

Historically, Discord hasn't had a dedicated security team -- we just happen to have a small handful of engineers with a strong enough security background to pick up this kind of work in their spare time. We've since grown to the point where we finally have enough work to justify a full time security engineering team. Note that this team isn't just infrastructure security (although it certainly includes that) -- we'll also be building product features, new backend services, internal tooling, and more. If you have a solid grasp on software development, an extensive security background, and are excited about helping build a security team from the ground up, please get in touch!

Of course, if you're interested in working at Discord but not in this particular role, we have plenty of other openings at https://discordapp.com/jobs (but I'm not the hiring manager for those).

If you have any questions (about the role, Discord, resume advice, or whatever you feel like), feel free to add me on Discord at cmFtc2V5IzAwMDE=. Do note that I probably won't respond if it's a weekend (and your DM might get buried under the avalanche of work-related DMs by Monday). Last time I did this someone messaged me three Saturdays in a row and then angrily blocked me because I wasn't responding. If you're reading this: I'm sorry! Just message me on a weekday! :)

We are! Definitely apply if you're interested.

Oops! The username is obfuscated to weed out spam -- maybe check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding for some ideas.

The tag is #0001 -- notamy was able to add me, so it should work now. :)

Whoops! Should be fixed now. :) Please give it another shot!

Discord | Software Engineer - Unannounced Project | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Hey HN! We're hiring engineers for a low-level systems programming/reverse engineering role. More deets here: https://discordapp.com/jobs/4200751002

Notably absent from the list of requirements is professional work experience or a college degree. If you're a self-taught programmer passionate about this kind of work, please apply! (Of course, that doesn't mean we're not looking for more senior people as well.) As someone who got their first "real" job from a Who's Hiring thread (this one, actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1958374) I'm super excited to be able to offer the same kind of opportunity to people who might be having a hard time getting through resume filters due to their unusual background.

Feel free to apply through the website (I personally look at every submission), but if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at cmFtc2V5QGRpc2NvcmRhcHAuY29t or on Discord at cmFtc2V5IzAwMDE=. Happy to give career advice or answer any questions you might have, even if you don't think you're a good fit for the role.

We're also hiring for a bunch of other stuff, but I'm not the hiring manager for those teams. If low-level/systems programming isn't your cup of tea, check out the rest of our openings here: https://discordapp.com/jobs

Is Discord really using 2GB of RAM for you? Can you clarify what you mean by regularly? Discord (including all of its helper processes) is only using 190 MB of RAM for me at the moment.

I really hope the recommended method of suggesting tips (fork, modify, pull request) and the overcomplicated backend (complete with four dependencies!) is an attempt at meta-humor. Maybe we need an opensource-js.com.

I own compels.us, and I've never really used it for anything.
