Thanks! We're only hiring full-stack right now. We need a broad set of experience (dev-ops, front end + design, .NET back end, etc) rather than specialization since we're such a small company right now. But, feel free to apply anyways so I can add you to our pool of non-full stack candidates for when the time is right for us and we can stay in touch!
I worked there for a long time as a Senior Developer. I certainly wouldn't call it remote friendly unless you have a manager willing to fight for your ability to work remote.
We are hiring for field (consulting, support, tech sales/architecture and some customer facing engineering) positions remotely, with varying degrees of travel. Core engineering teams are still largely on Prem, although I’ve been delivering software on the consulting side so long I’m a bit out of touch there.
If this is the division I am part of, there are definitely remote friendly roles available. The nature of the role will impact travel. My current role balance is about 25% travel, 30-50% coding, the remainder mentoring, design, etc.
It's definitely still going in Toronto. I'm seeing condos that are selling for 50-100k more then they did a year ago, and anything in the downtown core or near a subway line seems to gain value like clockwork.
Applied and had a lovely chat with Ev Kontsevoy. Was told I'd hear back from their CTO, even was cc'ed on an intro email.....and that was it. Kind of disappointed to be ghosted like that, as the stack looked to be something I'd like to work with.
This is the sort of reply that we're asking people not to post in these threads—see the root text. I appreciate that you were polite about it, and have no reason to doubt what you said, but we have no way of adjudicating which posts are fair and true vs. not.
Comments on a job ad are not a context in which both sides of a story can be aired. The companies aren't free to respond, the employees posting the jobs typically have no idea of what happened, and so on. Even if they could respond, the resulting threads would often become long and off-topic. Worse, they would be vulnerable to abuse. I'm sure you wouldn't do that, but others unfortunately would.
These are all issues that we can and do deal with moderating in the general forum, but Who Is Hiring threads aren't the general forum—they're a job board planted into HN like an embedded DSL, and statements that are valid in the general language don't all work here.

You routinely bring this up as if it's somehow necessary but have never demonstrated why, only resorting to "it's better for the community", without, again, any reasoning or discussion (that you don't immediately shut down) behind it.

Even if true, which is debatable, that's not necessarily desirable.

Is this demonstrable, or just speculation? Where are the early examples of this occurring?

As an argument-by-analogy, this suffers from being potentially misleading. However, since you resort to a technical analogy, why not resort to a technical solution?
Berating users for not being able to read your mind [1] and behaving otherwise reasonably for the forum is unfair.
If you feel you need to stifle conversation on this thread, then prohibit it outright. Technically.
[1] and, no, the "instructions" at the top are not sufficient, since they are, in effect, too hidden, too exceptional, and include no reasoning for what seems to be an arbitrary rule for a "DSL" you've created.
Do all the downvotes mean people merely disagree? Surely none of my points are so obviously invalid as to warrant silent dismissal.
After all, if there had been a blog post (or other similar discussion topic) that could pointed to, no (repeated) explanation by moderators would be necessary. The discussion would already have occurred, and the reasoning would be clear enough for anyone interested to examine it.
Or is it merely an expression of disapproval at challenging an HN moderator, or, more subtly, the interests of those posting to this job-board-within-HN?
Myself I'm working on a random family tree generator for a DND game that a friend of mine is running, and then moving to an ETL/website using Spring that I've been doing off and on for a few months.
