A developer built hnwork.app, a structured UI on top of Hacker News' "Who is hiring" posts, offering text search, filters, analytics, and an API. Job posters can create verified accounts with structured postings (requiring salary range), and job seekers can browse without signing up or create accounts for comments and API access.
Background
- Every month, Hacker News (HN, a massive tech-community news aggregator run by Y Combinator) publishes a "Who is hiring?" thread — an unstructured text post where companies list job openings in the comments. It's popular but notoriously hard to search or filter because it's just raw text.
- This tool (hnwork.app) is a third-party UI built on top of those threads, adding search, filters, salary requirements, analytics, and an API. It's the creator's side project, originally conceived at a YC hackathon.
- The post is a "Show HN" — a tradition on Hacker News where makers present their projects to the community for feedback. The audience is mostly engineers, founders, and tech workers who both use the hiring threads and build tools like this.
- Similar tools have existed before (e.g., whoishiring.io), but the space keeps getting reattempted because the official threads remain intentionally minimalist and unstructured.
Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.
Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.
Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
