Where do you hear about them

One barrier in communication is that developers are not the ones able to post for jobs. I would love to have another coworker in software development. I have no say in hiring. Even a QA with a software development background would be gold.

The automation industry with physical products interaction is where my labor shortage lives.

I will be requesting support this year. Software development is about solutions and all industry pivots have a learning curve.

Hackernews. Check the monthly "Who's hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?" threads. Posting on the latter is how I landed my current job.

  • I got some great opportunities from that post but lately, it has been a nothing burger. I have been without a job for nearly a year and have applied to many positions on that thread with just one reply and that fizzled out despite being objectively qualified (a take home assignment, successfully completed within the allotted time of 24 hours).
