> Using Selenium, I used a script to google iteratively for strings query = f"ask hn who is hiring {month} {year}" to get the IDs of the items that represent the monthly threads.

FYI, you could've just used the hackernews API, and get all posts by the user `whoishiring`, which submits all these who is hiring posts. And then filter out only the posts where the title starts with "Ask HN: Who is hiring?", as this bot also submits the 'Who wants to be hired?' and 'Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer?' posts.

This makes just so much sense and would spare me 65 lines of code. Thank you!

No worries! Btw in your database graph "Snowflake" seems to be off by two positions, as it has a smaller count than ElasticSearch and ClickHouse, but appears in front of them.

Also NER would have done a better job imo
