I know of no one, but I've applied a few times this year (~15) and only received 4 replies, all "no" because of my salary requirements or the fact I'm not "all-in on AI". I see quite a few of the ones I applied to and never received a response for showing up every month, though.

Reading many of them give me a “we want a $300k developer for $50k a year” vibe. Not even worth applying for.
Even outside of HN, there seems to be a large amount of downward pressure on tech salaries. Like even higher level staff/principal developer positions under $150k.

A few years ago, working remotely outside the hot zones meant you'd probably split the difference between the hot zone and where the dev was... now it's like not even a thought or an argument.

Indeed.
