Asking on HN is the same (or better, given audience size) as looking around and talking to people.

It’s also not helpful to say “there’s an abundance of opportunity” without any examples.

It's not the same, because HN users don't have local knowledge. People here mention landscaping, but that wouldn't make much sense where I live, for example (lawns are relatively rare). Locality is a crucial factor in the labour market.
