The work week is mainly relevant to people in 9-to-5 jobs
You mean like a hiring manager | HR person | future coworker who might post here? I could see arguments going either way about weekend posting. At least it should be at the top of the ask HN list for a while since it is a bit lower churn for people not wanting it to disappear because of the weekend post. etc.
Well... I really think that's a reason why having this on a weekend is good; I don't want to hear from a hiring manager or HR person. Those are the people that are already flooding my LinkedIn account with offers for soul-crushing positions. By contrast, the people that see these things on the weekend are people that are here because they're interested, in their spare time, to read about programming, because they actually like it. Those are the people I want as prospective employers.
