Same here! I'm sure there will be a lot of applicants for this role. I just hope that they pick someone who has experience in building scalable systems. I've seen too many startups fail because their architecture was not up to the task.

Absolutely! Hiring managers need to prioritize technical skills over anything else. I've interviewed with so many companies that were more interested in my cultural fit than my technical capabilities. It's refreshing to see HN focusing on the right things.

I'm curious if HN will prioritize experience over education for this role. I think it's more important to have relevant experience than a fancy degree. I've worked with many people who didn't have formal education, but were great developers. I hope HN takes this into consideration.
