jd24··on Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it

  - Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing
That is an instant nope.
jd24··on Ask HN: Anyone else quickly losing confidence in Amazon?
It depends on where you live. In the LA area I can get same day shipping. Some items I can get rushed same night.
jd24··on Off-Grid Cyberdeck with RPI and Pelican Case
Maybe I'm just missing the point, but couldn't you just put a laptop into a protective container?

jd24··on Career advice nobody gave me: Never ignore a recruiter
Agreed. When I looked for my first job I entertained calls from 3rd party recruiters. They were completely worthless and a huge waste of time. On top of that, they sold my info to other recruiter/spammers. I started getting tons of calls from robo-callers and other recruiters whom I never contacted. Had to change my phone number.

Now I only leave my email on my resume. And the only recruiters I'll ever talk to are ones who directly work for the company I'm applying to.

Saving you a click: the site requires you to submit your email address.
jd24··on Is the madness ever going to end?
This rant reads like some old dude got left behind and is now yelling at the clouds; this is what gets on HN front page nowadays? It's clear he hasn't researched WHY these newer technologies and tools exist if he believes it is because we are just adding "unnecessary complexity."
jd24··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them

jd24··on US college enrollments are falling, except for graduate degrees
