What HN saysHN links it mostly for the Leonardo da Vinci resume post; commenters call it sweet, though one doubts a job board needs so many developers.

This was a little side project to have some fun and maybe spread a little value.
I frantically threw this together over the weekend to be ready for the traffic Marc Cenedella (CEO of TheLadders.com) promised me today. His posts:

Thank you, Marc.
As many of you know, I spend most of my time writing software and generally resist spending time writing other stuff (even though I always find time to say something here). So in typical hacker fashion, I "launched" what I had with the intention of accepting feedback and iterating. You guys have always been really good at that.
I originally planned on a Kindle ebook, but Scribd was just so much easier for me. I didn't realize that others had problems viewing or purchasing. If you're outside the U.S. or have any other problems reading the sample, just email me and I'll send you a free pdf.
All of your feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll keep updating the content as I go and will gladly accept help with typesetting or distributing. I plan to follow up with some of you during one of my breaks today.
If you buy the book and don't like it, I will buy you a cup of coffee the next time we are together. If you buy it and do like it, make that a beer.

This is sweet.
You may want to put a focus on how you can create value for your future employer when talking about yourself and your skills. I like this example http://www.cenedella.com/job-search/leonardo-da-vincis-resume/
And I was told once that telling a positive story of your ideal working environment may sweettalk a VP to push you through the HR.

They seem to employ a several dozen developers in NYC: http://www.cenedella.com/job-search/photos-of-us/
I wouldn't think a giant job and resume board needed this many people to run.

The site also took an extremely long time to respond for me, which was kind of amusing given the content when it finally did load:
> I know how, when a website is besieged, to shard data onto the cloud, and make endless variety of mirrors, and fault tolerant disks and RAIDs, and other machines pertaining to such concerns.
You should consider using some of those "secrets" on your own site. :)
Edit: site seems to be responding quickly now. Must have been a momentary blockage in the tubes.
