Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)
Hey, a friendly reminder. I'm parsing the thread, all job offers added here are also available on the map onhttps://whoishiring.ioPlease read the below if you are planning to post here and would like to have your offer looking good on the map.I've been doing this since August last year, both parsing the thread and adding this comment here. But this time I would like to only slightly improve one thing: the format.First, I would like to say that I really like that this thread is one of the few places where hard format for jobs isn't required. The format change that I'm asking for is minimal and a lot of people already post their posts in similar or exactly the same format.What I’d like to ask is for the format of the first line to be like this:  1) {company} | {job title} | {locations} | {attrs: REMOTE, INTERNS, VISA, company url}
  Google | Software Developer | SF | VISA https://google.com
  DuckDuckGo | Software Developer | Paoli PA | REMOTE, VISA
or  2) {company} | {job title} | {locations}
  Google | Site Reliability Engineer | London, Zurich, Sydney
  Facebook | Web-developer | London, Zurich

I will be using this regex to test the firstline.  \s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*\|\s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*\|\s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*(?:\|\s*(?P.+))?$

You can test it in Python or here https://regex101.com/r/relwQD/3 (for match look right). What if you do not comply? Absolutely nothing. I will continue to do my best to parse your job post as it is.To HN moderators. Apologies for highjacking the thread. I'm getting really positive feedback about what I'm doing here. I just want to improve this one thing.Feedback welcome.
