Ask HN: Why can't we comment on YC jobs postings?
It seems odd we can't post comments on the YC job postings. It would be a good way to provide quick feedback to these companies and to connect with potential hires. I have tried sending emails to several with no response.
The monthly `Who is Hiring` posts seems to provide a good means of discussion around open positions listed. I would assume YC companies could get similar feedback and potentially make a hirable connection faster than forcing that person through a normal hiring funnel, which, I have found for most of these small YC companies gets you absolutely nowhere.

Cause comments on job posts are negative, scornful and often seek to repay rejection.
The job listings of YC companies aren't intellectually interesting. Hence, I suspect that the odds of producing quality comments is rather low. This is probably why Monster.com and StackOverflow Careers don't have comments sections either.
