  • •Filters noise from massive hiring threads effectively.
Weaknesses
  • •Relies on external LLM API costs for every search.
  • •Fragile pipeline dependent on HN's HTML structure.

Post Description

Today I learned that I can find the most interesting jobs for myself in the "Who's Hiring" thread with a single command:

curl https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47975571 | \ uvx html2text | \ llm --model gpt-5-nano "These are Hacker News comments under a Who's Hiring thread. Find interesting jobs that matches my timezone (US/Canada) and is remote and preferably part-time. I'm interested in Python, infrastructure, and AI. I also work as a fractional head of engineering with early stage startups."

Requirements:

- uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv - llm: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/
