lol it's nice to see Hacker News is still a bastion of reasoned communication and friendly discourse between tech people. I should really log in more.

I built Joblint literally 10 years ago as a fun side project. I was fed up with a spate of really terrible job ads and decided to write something to help me as an engineer vet whether I wanted to work at a company.

It's not a solid tool, it doesn't represent the way I'd build things now, and it codifies my fairly limited view of what made a bad job when I was a bright-eyed 20-something. I should probably add a note to the repo and site to express this but I'm always surprised when it gets dug up tbh.

If I were building it again then yeah it'd spot a lot more issues, it wouldn't be built using a massive RegExp , and it'd probably go harder on trying to spot red flags around homophobia and racism. I'm sure some of the foaming gammons here on HN would be overjoyed.

Anyway, see you all in another 10 years. Lots of love

Hi, thanks for offering to fast-track! My Docker ID is rowanmanning

With small changes to the API, it's possible. Shunter requires a certain `Content-Type` header to be sent in order to trigger the rendering process. But largely yes, if your back-end can serve JSON already you should be able to make it play well with Shunter quite easily

I haven't heard it described like that, but in a sense I guess. At Nature (where it was developed) we use it to decouple our front and back ends. So when we work on a feature we agree on a JSON structure beforehand and work in parallel. It also gives us the ability to work in exactly the same way on the front-end no matter which back-end system is producing the JSON. This is awesome if you're a company that has applications written in quite a few languages

This is looking really nice, a big improvement on your initial release! The Cycle View is useful, it cuts down the time it takes to review jobs massively. Great work
