I rarely pay attention to job postings. I don't think it's any more annoying than any other YC company.

You're not the only one. A symptom of a desperate business with cancelling customers and its likely that their VCs told them to advertise here to find new ones here.

Also their business is at extreme risk of being eclipsed by Shopify as a feature since their whole platform is built on top of Shopify.

They're just job ads?

I haven't noticed Skio before but Meticulous have been hiring for their #3 Founding Engineer for what seems to be over 2 years now.

I suspect the people who are looking for jobs (and based on a recent AskHN about whether people were finding jobs, it seems there’s a lot of such people, including, unfortunately, people who were sounding absolutely frustrated) are not sick of looking at those postings.

What seems even odder to me is complaining about job posts which are rarely ever more than 1 every few pages, so 1 every few 60-75 links.

I’m struggling to see why anyone would even be bothered by that and not just glaze over it at worst if it wasn’t for some personal issue with the company itself.

the ad/ceo seems pretty obnoxious and in my opinion smacks of a toxic "grind" culture

but, it might appeal to some, so to each their own, i wish them success

its been a while since i visited their site, but it reminded me of those personal websites and geocities. I still dont know why they seem to be aiming for such a target auidence when they are offering payment related services (art-related stores maybe?) Nevertheless, i wish them success.

A bit self deprecating. Too bad we are forbidden from commenting on these posts.

Odd: I haven't seen any, and search isn't turning up any.

EDIT: Found it, every 2 weeks for about 8 months now.

Not the only one. For some reason I clicked more than once. Maybe the name clicks with me? I’m not even looking for a job.

Seems like a weird company with a solo founder who explicitly says they aim to be a 1 trillion company (not sure if they’re joking) and lists values such as “Grind. We work long hours to be the best at what we do.”

My adblocker seems to detect and block HN job ads.

Off of this topic, but since we're here: Is anyone else sick and tired of seeing ads by Temu? Mostly just cheap trash, too, with multiple cheap items on a single ad.
