This is an exceptionally small amount of data to draw any conclusion from.

This surely isn't surprising to anyone though?

Most job posts on HN were tech orientated. You generally shouldn't be hiring technical people in 2026.

I also noticed the same thing & asked about it here [0].

seems lately HN hiring has been mostly filled with seekers instead of those hiring.
