This script uses requests, lxml, and joblint to test all of the currently-available job postings on Hacker News' jobs page for various common recruiting fails.

I wrote it basically as soon as I heard of joblint, because, obviously! The script is quick, dirty, and totally non-asynchronous (and relatedly slow), because I am impatient.

You'll need python, pip, and npm already installed.

• Make a virtualenv (suggested instructions below, if you have another way do that instead)
  • $ virtualenv env
  • $ source env/bin/activate
• $ pip install -r requirements.txt
• $ npm install joblint -g
  • or whatever the joblint repository installation instructions recommend, who knows, it might change in the future
• $ python hn.py

Please don't run the script too many times too often--the goal is not to DDOS Hacker News! You can re-run the mass lint step by setting '''download_afresh''' to '''False''' in hn.py.
