notes and caveats

whoishiring tries to find the latest thread posted to Hacker News using a heuristic. It may fail sometime in the future. The title and url of the article being searched is always printed first... and is worth peeking at.

It can be helpful to pass a quoted phrase if one is looking for an exact phrase match. This requires a bit of double quoting alla '"quoting the quotes!"' to pass the quotes themselves in to whoishiring.
