I visualized "Who's Hiring?" vs. "Who wants to be hired?" over time
I had a thought earlier that it would be an interesting look at the tech market (or at least the HN audience) at the moment by visualizing comment count ratios

Who wants to be hired?" meets "Who is hiring?" (July 2026)

Post Description
Hey y'all! Long-time lurker here.
I love both posts mentioned in the title, and something that I never understood in this day and age of AI: why not combine both?!
If you posted on "Who wants to be hired?", you can search for your username and see the "best" matches (according to gemini-3.5-flash).
Very basic stack: Bun, Instant DB (just because I have been using them for the past few months and I love it!), and the HN api's.
Yeah, I could do it by hand, but no, I didn't. These types of "toy projects" bring me a lot of fun, and that is why I started in this career in the first place. :)
Happy to improve it if anyone finds it useful.
