I think that's an uncharitable way to describe the overwhelming majority of those posts. Let's get out of the habit of heaping snark on others in discussion threads. It feels amusing for a little while, but corrodes the qualities we most want here. Not a good trade.

You're right, I was unfairly snarky, but quite a few jobs on every month's post try and describe themselves with overly grandiose language without really saying what they do. I just think that job posts on this site reach a fairly narrow and high quality audience (certainly more so than most job sites), and in return it's not asking too much for a grounded, concrete description of what to expect both from the company, and the interview process.

The Javascipt framework part was purely a joke, and I think was probably recognized as such by most people, though again, was probably not helpful.

What you say is surely true, but it's trumped by the more important concern of working together to make HN the kind of place we want it to be. That means turning ourselves into damping filters for annoyance, not amplifying ones. It doesn't mean that the inputs aren't annoying, just that when producing outputs we need to be less so.

I wanted to upvote but accidentally downvoted.
