Are you referring to the Work at A Startup posts? I agree that it's perhaps one of the best cases of aligned incentives I've seen. How do you get a group of high competency engineers to congregate in the same place so you can hire them? Create a forum with content uniquely of interest to high competency engineers (who consequently engage with and enjoy the content, creating more content, causing more engineers to join).

Yes. it's brilliant and highly tasteful IMHO. I haven't responded to any of those myself, but their frequency is low enough and interesting enough that they don't bother me. I'm glad the site gets support to cover costs.
