I can't help but wonder.<p>They've been posting this job for several months in monthly "Who's hiring" thread (here's one from 227 days ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12628215" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12628215</a>)<p>I can't imagine that they're hiring 100s of people.<p>I also assume that people do apply because it's YC.<p>And yet, the position goes unfilled for months.<p>Either they have extremely unrealistic standards (a dna-spliced cross-breed of Carmack and Torvalds with business acumen of Steve Jobs) or there's something extremely unappealing about this job (after all it does seem like building CRUD apps in rails; you get to rub shoulders with Greatness Of Other People but there's curious absence of "competitive salary", or any salary, in the job description).
