> 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.
My experiences do not really match: Some CV compiler website has been emailing me ever since I posted on the thread, and the opt out is "If you don't want to hear from me anymore, just let me know".
Except there's no MX record for the website (Image: https://elixi.re/i/oamrerwz.png ), so I can't reply to them asking them to remove my email from their list.
If the person behind those emails is reading this: Please stop, it's annoying and I will not give you my money, even with a discount.
In taking a look at your postings on the 'Who want to be Hired' thread you list your email outright: hnjobs@ave.zone
I've written mine out as : robert.heffern (at) gmail
I suppose that the way that I wrote out my email address is just a bit more difficult for a computer to parse and scrape, hence my lack of spam. However, it may also be screening out people that want to talk to me, and I would never know.
That said, you have a very impressive gitlab resume! Great work!
