Tell HN: Who wants to be hired" posts outpace "Who's hiring" 2 to 1

Lately I ve noticed that Who wants to be hired posts are getting more comments than the Who s hiring ones.I pulled the data using HN API and confirmed this reversal . Who wants to be hired posts are getting 2x more comments than Who s hiring posts (and seems to be accelerating). For reference, in 2022 it used to be 0.25.I m old, I m from the times where demand for software devs greatly outpaced supply, but maybe we re seeing a reversal of it?I don t want to draw any conclusions yet, there could be many things going on. My initial thoughts would be AI-related. We re either entering a general recession because the AI bubble is bursting, or the job market is changing due to AI.Again, I don t have any answers, but it s something definitively interesting to discuss!Here s the source code (including data): https://github.com/santiagobasulto/hn-who-is-hiring-analysis
