   Massive Job Board With Reach — But Quality Can Be Hit or Miss

   I’ve used Indeed both as a job seeker and to post roles, and it’s honestly a mixed experience. On the positive side, the platform has incredible reach — almost every job search starts there. You can find opportunities ranging from entry-level roles to senior positions, and the quick-apply feature makes sending applications fast and easy.

   However, that volume is also its biggest downside. A lot of listings feel outdated or duplicated, and as a candidate you often apply without hearing anything back. From the employer side, free job posts don’t get much visibility, and you’re pushed toward paid listings to get meaningful results.

   Overall, Indeed is useful because of its scale, but the quality of listings and applicant experience can vary a lot. It’s good as a starting point, but not always enough on its own.

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use for both job seekers and employers.

   👎 Cons:    Many listings are outdated, duplicated, or low quality.

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (May 2026)

  Been working on https://searchcode.com/ again which I bought back, albeit as code search tool for LLMs. It solves the “should I use this library” by allowing the LLM to inspect search and analyse it before integration. Can use it to compare multiple repositories before downloading. It comes with a large amount of token savings and can be really useful when wanting to learn about a codebase. Since it does it anyway... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

  I reimagined https://searchcode.com/ since I realised LLMs have issues when it comes to understanding code you want to integrate. It’s useful for looking though any codebase, or multiple without having to clone it. I use it when I have candidate libraries to solve a problem, or I just want to find out how things work. Most recently I pointed it at fzf and was able to pull the insensitive SIMD matching it uses and... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
