Why can't I reply to "Who wants to be hired?"?


Is there a limitation as to when someone can post a reply? Does this mean the second half of the month is not going to be fruitful when searching for jobs through HN?

Is there another place one might look for jobs during that time?

If I recall all threads are closed for new comments after 14 days, it's not specific to "Who wants to be hired?"

Realistically the job threads get eyeballs only the first few days, they're often not even on the frontpage for half a day.
