I got hired 3 times thanks to HN, all in very different ways! But they add up to most of my career:

- In 2014~2015 I released a CSS library (Picnic CSS), which was fairly rare back then, and reached the front-page of HN. Through that post I got contacted by a US dev offering me very interesting freelancing work! That also made me realize I could make in 1 month of international work what would take 3-4 months of a local job through the degree I was studying. We collaborated in multiple projects.

- In 2019 I joined Standard AI through their announcement in the monthly "Who is Hiring?" in HN. TBH it was amazing work, we had a great small dev team in our location and I learned and grew a lot. I've done some of my most challenging (in a tech level) dev work there.

- In 2023 I joined Keeper through HN's "Work at a Startup" program where I had created a profile. It was the only time I've been contacted from a company through the program, but magically it was just when I was looking for a new job so it was a pretty good match. So far it's been pretty good!
