The last time I was looking for a job, I wrote a little scraper that used naive regex to classify "HN Who's Hiring" postings as "AI," "full time," etc.

I was looking for a full time remote or hybrid non-AI job in New York. I'm not against working on AI, but this being a startup forum I felt like listings were dominated by shiny new thing startups, whereas I was looking for a more "boring" job.

Anyway, here's:

- a graph: https://home.davidgoffredo.com/hn-whos-hiring-stats.html

- the filtered listings: https://home.davidgoffredo.com/hn-whos-hiring.html

- the code: https://github.com/dgoffredo/hn-whos-hiring



Surprised by how much job postings decreased, in the span of 3 years. Great Graph.


Thanks. I think 2021 was a high point, but my scaper doesn't go further back for some reason -- I think that one of my assumptions about how things are formatted doesn't hold before than.
