Show HN: Hire-Me GH Issue Template – Flip the Job Search Script

It is an amazing idea… for the late 2010s/pandemic job market. Nowadays most companies are just waiting for the perfect candidate to fall from the sky, so I’m curious to see how much non-spam submissions you end up collecting.
To be honest I probably wont get any traction with this which is why I'm sharing it so devs can start disengaging from the broken status quo and get companies to apply to them instead.
I've created a "Hire Me" GitHub issue template where companies can "apply" to employ me. It's like a reverse job application, and here's why it's cool:
1. Cuts through the noise: Most dev's GH profile speaks louder than resume. 2. Saves time: No more filling out repetitive forms or tailoring CVs. 3. Transparency: All offers are public by default
Here's how it looks in action: https://github.com/smashah/smashah/issues/new?assignees=smas...
Or just click the "Hire Now" button on my profile (wip): https://github.com/smashah?tab=overview&from=2022-12-01&to=2...
Feel free to use this idea for your own job hunt! If you do, let me know so we can track the "Reverse Job Search" revolution. I might add a default label "reverse-hiring-application" so all such posts can be easily searched. I also made an animated svg button (feel free to reuse).
