I've found two jobs from that thread, and have been offered a third I turned down. I usually just ctrl-f for the tech I use and apply if I see something interesting that matches my skillset. It's quite targeted. I think I have like a 50% success rate with applying via HN.

I applied for a founding engineer with a startup though a "who's hiring" post. Had 3-4 rounds of interviews, met founders, did a project with them. I had competing offers and ultimately didn't work out. But it was a positive experience.

I know of no one, but I've applied a few times this year (~15) and only received 4 replies, all "no" because of my salary requirements or the fact I'm not "all-in on AI". I see quite a few of the ones I applied to and never received a response for showing up every month, though.

I know one person who got hired through it,but they have a very specific niche skillset.Feels like it works better for standouts profiles than generalists.
