Ask HN: Are you unable to find employment?

I'm afraid I don't understand what rubric you're talking of. Are you asking me whether employers across the world should read HN? Or is that an autocorrect typo for "rule"?

If the latter, yes, certainly. My last two employers had to hire US and Canadian developers anyway just to be able to sell to the US/Canada, so I guess it's already the case.

a rubric is a general rule, template, or standard yes

Never seen the word used in that sense.

As far as me or my dictionary are concerned, a rubric is a category, or perhaps a chapter. :shrug:

Consider purchasing a better English dictionary. I worked in the ESL/EFL industry for years and never encountered the word rubric as a synonym for category/chapter. It is commonly used to refer to a guideline or rule.

Could it be a UK vs. US thingy?

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I looked it up in an effort to "own" gp to see its etymology.
