They pop up every now and then. Wouldn't say it's a common thing. Fwiw the overlap between a random tech meetup and HN users is probably pretty high. I've gone to a few in SF from meetup.com

It was a good time for sure. I worked there 7.5 years before leaving. Still keep in contact with a lot of people from that job. On the first work day of the month there are hiring threads on HN if you end up wanting to check those out

I've gotten a job through HN which has turned in to friendship if that counts. Every now and then meetups popup too which are cool

I believe it's US remote only. It can't hurt to apply though. The recruiting team may have other roles that are more globally available that they can point you to.

Sorry to hear that. If it's for the role in my link or another product eng role let me know and I can have someone look in to it for you. If not the recruiter you're talking to is likely your best bet.

I started working on a project to solve this exact issue https://github.com/mburst/protomolecule. I haven't spent too much time building out other frameworks, but the first framework is React + Express which fits what you're looking for

It's times like these when I'm appreciative of the simplicity of the HN tech stack. Was talking to some people on discord when it went down and then noticed some other websites were down. Came right to HN to see 5 different threads about this. Will be curious to see what the cause of the issue turns out to be

I really enjoy my pbt key caps. Programmers spend all day at the keyboard and the oils from their fingers wear down the key caps and make their keyboards look terrible. PBT feels better and takes longer to break down. You can get a good set for $30. Just make sure the key caps on their keyboards come off.
Logitech also makes some nice wireless mice around $100 that are pretty ergonomic and comfortable to use. Anything to help prevent carpel tunnel is nice.
A lot of programmers really love the jetbrains tool suite, but that's more subscription based.
A lot of free database viewer tools pale in comparison to their paid counterparts. So something in that arena could be nice
