   The Five Year Itch▲86

   Show HN: Experienced software engineers who want to change jobs after a few years need a service targeted at them, that won't make them chase ads nor swamp them with recruiter spam. We built FiveYearItch.com We're wondering: Does this meet a need for the stable, experienced, skilled, but non-rockstar programmers?

    Wayback Letter - Looking back at 5+ years of Hacker News▲59

    I just sent out my 100th issue of Hacker Newsletter and announced my newest newsletter: Wayback Letter - http://www.waybackletter.com/ In either a daily or weekly version, you'll get links to great HN articles from the past five years. A great way to see how HN has grown and changed, plus see what was going on at different times. Lastly, there are a ton of great reads to learn from that I never saw the first go around. Would love to get feedback and my goal is to expand this past HN in the future.

    OneView was first posted to HN in 2017, but died sometime around late 2019. Using the web archive I cobbled together something that works. Open to hearing people's thoughts on whether this is ethical or not...

    I measured the half-life of 41,301 Show HN launches. It's 7 hours▲37

    I scraped every Show HN from the last 12 months (41,301 posts) plus the full comment tree of every launch with 10+ comments, ~100k comment timestamps, all from the Algolia HN API. The median launch gets 2 points and 0 comments. For launches that do get traction, half the comments they'll ever get arrive within 7.2 hours and 90% within 26, and the top decile decays on the same clock as everyone else. Vote timestamps aren't public, so comment timing is the attention proxy; caveats are in the post. Everything reproduces from the repo with one command…
