In 2018 I was hired as full-timer number 13 from an HN thread. I stayed there for 4 years.
The company was 90-some people when I left. We posted in the HN threads every month, but as far as I know, I was the only one hired from HN. One time I asked someone from HR about it, and they told me that we only got a very small number of responses from the HN threads, but that they were generally high-quality candidates, and that it just never worked out. In at least one of the cases we tried to hire the person, but he ended up ghosting us (I remember that one because I interviewed him... and now often notice his username in the comments).
4 years - the magic number...
Interesting, could you elaborate on why 4 years is the magic number?
stock vesting periods are usually 4 years

Excluding that reason a lot of people leave at 4 years to get a larger bump in salary than one could expect staying at a company
