> Did you receive responses that weren't recruiter-spam from your posts there?

Maybe I've obfuscated my email address well enough, but I don't get any recruiter spam from the listing. Now that I look back on that, it's something of a miracle.

That said, I've only been contacted once per the thread. After one email I was ghosted by the company. Not uncommon really.

I'm not really the niche for HN, I'm mostly a bio/medtech and engineering person. I love the discussions here, but my expertise is on the edges of the Gaussian that is HN.
