For instance, if they were part of YCS15, I'm curious about the timeline of their evolution towards AI. Was AI always part of their grand vision from 2015, or was it a strategic pivot they made along the way? These kinds of discussions could add so much more context and value both to potential applicants and the broader HN community interested in the dynamics of startup evolution, technological pivots, and the real stories behind a hiring post.
However, there's no straightforward way to initiate these discussions directly from the hiring posts, leaving us to find roundabout methods like creating separate posts just to talk about it.
I believe adding a 'Discuss' button directly on hiring posts could foster richer conversations, deeper insights into companies and positions, and potentially even better matches between companies and candidates. What does the community think? Is there a specific reason such a feature doesn't exist, or could it be a valuable addition to Hacker News?
