Note to applicants: see the very last item in bullet-list about their definition of "remote". I was told that I am not eligible because I'm 4 hours away from Louisville instead of 3 hours away.
I would have assumed in the context of HN (and StackOverflow, where I first saw the listing) that "remote" means anywhere with an internet connection, not just "working from home but in our city".
I did receive a relatively prompt reply though, so that was appreciated (and it was fun answering their questions).
Yeah that seems odd. What's an extra hour if it's your own car with your own gas on your time? On the flipside, would have it been possible to work out an arrangement for you to move an hour or two closer? The whole thing seems like a wasted opportunity over an hour drive.
"Remote" means to most people that the work can be done from anywhere in the world. Consider rewording it to something like "work from home possible" or similar.
