This post is missing from November and December 2025 from the usual whoishiring account [0], is this gone?
I'm aware that the latest posts barely got any comments looking for freelancers and the market sucks, still, I think that those posts are helpful.

While I have saw that there are many portfolio tracker apps, I haven't been able to find anything that meets my requirements, then, I ended up with spreadsheets (which are helpful but they have its own drawbacks).
Have you seen anything covering most of these scenarios?
1. Support the traditional stock market as well as cryptocurrencies.
2. There is no need to link any stock services or crypto wallets, data can be entered manually or imported from CSV files.
3. Support for multiple currencies (USD, EUR, etc).
4. Support for including fees as well as dividends.
5. Data can be exported.
6. Data is stored in a server but it is encrypted at the client, this means that the server can't read it.
Thanks.
As devs, we got used to take-home challenges while applying for jobs/projects, some challenges ask you to write code from scratch, others expect you to update an existing project.
Today I had a case where I received a repository where I was asked to do a minor change before discussing the long-term opportunity.
Well, turns out that the build script links a weird pre-start script, paying attention to this I found out that the script was malicious.
One of the things that made me suspicious was the lack of details from the hiring company + getting the take-home challenge without much effort.
All of this got me thinking, there is nothing preventing attackers to create a fake company website/jobs/emails and leverage the take-home challenge approach to infect people.
Have you saw any similar approach?
