Hacker News has posted its recurring monthly hiring thread for September 2026, where companies can list open positions directly. The post lays out submission rules, requiring location details and remote-work status, and restricting entries to employees of the hiring company rather than recruiters or job boards. It also links to several third-party search tools for browsing past listings and points to a companion thread for job seekers.
A user recounts their partner's layoff after 15 years at a major tech company, describing her as a high-performing manager who was cut due to last-minute budget revisions. They argue the real cause was mismanagement by a senior executive two levels above her, who has a track record of costly failures yet remains employed while her entire 30-person team was let go.
A user posted an 'Ask HN' thread inviting developers to share side projects generating at least $500 monthly income in 2026, continuing a tradition of similar posts from prior years. The poster noted a recent attempt at this question failed to gain traction, and admitted their own side projects currently earn nothing.
