Wow, thanks, I had no idea. I even missed the previous HN thread on it (I follow HN150 on Twitter, so mostly only check out stories that hit 150 points).
What’s crazy is that I haven’t received a single email about them deprecating Jobs. I think they have my most up-to-date resume, so I may have lost that (maybe they’ll send something out later this month, but seems like most companies give a longer heads-up when deprecating products).
You've still got a few days (up to March 31st)! You can save it as PDF directly from your Developer Story, but if you want it in another format, you'll have to use a third party tool.
What's their reason for shutting it down? The older submissions mention that they want to focus on managing company images. Why would they shut down before establishing the new income stream? What happens if it doesn't work out? Will they shut down completely in a year or two?
Besides, if they are not operating at a loss, why not keep the job board running and improve it until it is the market leader? They know what people search. Who is better positioned to bring programmers and companies together? What do I miss that makes it impossible for them to continue?
