I’ve been curious why they are constantly advertising on HN, it doesn’t seem logical to need that many posts.

Is the hiring process bad? Is the turn over that high? The constant advertising gives a bad impression. If they are just expanding at a good clip, it seems there are better ways.

I work at Flexport. We are growing market share in existing businesses, entering new lines of business, and building a new technology platform underneath it all. It’s like being at AWS 10 years ago.

We’ve got a lot of work to do, and HN has good people.

Are y'all sunsetting Ruby completely as you break apart the monolith?

Advertising is perhaps the wrong word. AFAIK HN does not charge for those placements, it is a privilege[1] given to YC startups. If they are getting enough applicants on those posts and HN rules allow them to post often then why would they not keep posting ?

[1] Technically paid with the equity companies give YC I suppose
