I would definitely love to hear about it. I made it for myself first. And will keep it all free


It's a great tld in my opinion


well. you find the ultimate job. you hire yourself. But you are right, it could be improved


Hi HN,

I kept seeing the same pattern:

Smart people sending dozens of applications. No replies. Not because they’re unqualified — but because inboxes are saturated.

It made me think: employment works because it creates structure.

Clear role. Clear term. Clear deliverables. Clear consequences.

Entrepreneurs and builders rarely give themselves that structure.

So I built hired.wtf.

Instead of applying to companies, you send your CV to yourself. The app interviews you and generates a fixed-term employment contract between “Employer You” and “Employee You.”

It includes: • Role title • Term (30/60/90 days) • Deliverables & KPIs • Performance review schedule • Termination clause

The idea is simple: Turn vague goals into binding commitments.

It’s not a productivity tracker. It’s a psychological contract engine.

I’m curious: • Does formal structure actually change behavior? • Would you use something like this? • What would make it genuinely useful vs gimmicky?

Would love your feedback.

Regarding the smart people sending dozens of applications, they should consider signing up for a reverse job board, such as https://applytome.ai/

If they have any questions about it, they can ask its founder: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noahhelfend/

not chatgpt but it is mostly AI. The one hated by Trump right now. But you are right. Bad move on my side. (this is not AI)


I rebuilt FTX’s venture and equity investments using public bankruptcy filings, sale motions, and reported funding rounds.

The goal was to answer a simple question:

If those investments were still held today, what would they be worth based on the latest reported valuations?

A few notes:

• All figures are sourced and linked • Each estimate has a confidence label • Assumptions are documented in the methodology section • If anything looks incorrect, I would genuinely appreciate corrections
