If I recall correctly the GitHub API for fetching organizations is authenticated and was worried I'd get banned. Either that or the rate limiting was more lax on the web-site.


Oh... I did not know companies did that? Even serious ones?


Yeah I think even big companies are doing this now.

To some extent they’ve been doing this for a long time specifically to qualify people for H1B visas; they post applications in obscure places so that they can tell Immigration that they “can’t find anyone in the US to do this job!”, but I think now they realized that it basically cost them nothing to have posts that they have no intention of actually answering to.

I get it, having lots of job posts signals growth and it’s not illegal but it’s annoying how much of my time they waste.


If you look at the https://github.com/CajuM/jobhunt/blob/master/gh-orgs-gtek.ts... file you should see largely reputable organizations. It's still a churn to find a job as many are not companies that hire, or are just historical start-ups.

You could Google "site:{domain_from_url} careers" and filter them that way with a script. You'll still need a sorry.sh script for that.


You can then use the following prompt on ChatGPT for the top results: "are there job openings at this url: {url} answer in at most one word, either yes or no"


You can also ssh into your wireless router and if it's OpenWrt do a `ifdown wan && ifup wan`. It just happened that I own a Banana PI that used to have ArchLinux ARM on it.


guess you're right...
