Please only post if you personally are part of the hiring company—no recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per month, please. If it isn't a household name, explain what your company does.
Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about something. It's off topic here.
Readers: please only email submitters if you personally are interested in the job—no recruiters or sales calls.

Also, be careful, the while the code for the pre-interview features all the logic to run tests case, the "human" interview will miss this feature and you'll lose time re-implementing a makeshift system during the call.
We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16967563 and marked it off-topic.
Over the years of perusing this thread, it seems that more and more commentary has been deemed off-topic. As such, I'd ask that the rules at the top text be more explicit in what is actually permitted here, which is clearly much narrower than the rest of HN.
Alternatively, maybe just make it post-only with no comments permitted, since I, for one, would no longer even mention something like an typo'd URL for fear it would be considered complaining.
In a way it's too bad, because job searching sucks and hiring sucks and it would be good if there were a process to sort through all this. But I'm skeptical that any internet forum can function as that kind of courtroom, and certainly the Who Is Hiring threads cannot.
I already understood the reasoning, though I firmly disagree, especially with the conclusion. As I believe there's nothing wrong with a thread going "into the weeds" so long as the discussion remains civil and relevant to the comment chain, something hardly unique to Who Is Hiring. As such, you certainly have the choice of merely allowing complaints among other commentary, as is the general case on the rest of the forum.
