as someone running HireParalegals.com (largest platform for hiring law talent), i can tell you we’re not seeing any slowdown in demand.

Firms are still hiring paralegals in big numbers, even with all the new AI tools around. the reality is ai can draft or summarize, but it doesn’t replace someone who understands procedure, catches nuance, and keeps a case on track. in practice, lawyers lean on paralegals more than ever.

What about metadata? you can track based on metadata don't have to know the content inside the messages.

The one and the same!

They have quite a reputation, like this The Information piece; https://www.theinformation.com/articles/at-booming-toptal-no...

check this one ; https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuwG0K7 it's ranking above this post as well. it's a funny algorithm

this is want Ryan Breslow was complaining about as well. How his posts again Stripe got de-ranked by HN

You mean the guy that let go of 1/3 of his staff after gross mismanagement? I'm not sure I'd put much weight behind his allegations.

valid question!

Precisely what they’re attempting with us.

But we won’t give into their fear tactics.

They can throw SLAPP suits all they want.

I say bring it on!

I was also getting at the possibility of a SLAPP countersuit. I don't know where you are but your state might support them. In California there is the California Anti-SLAPP Project which you could look up.

Absolutely. When people try to silence and sensor you, it's a sign they're threatened by what you have to say. And we've got nothing to fear as long as we speak the truth.

These are common scare tactics by large investor backed organizations, to try and make all possible competition disappear. They especially target small, bootstrapped businesses like ourselves that are more favored by entrepreneurs for their low-budget hiring requirements. And Toptal knows that we'll never be able to battle them out in courts. So they try to enforce fear to silence us.

It's not going to work this time. I won't be silenced.
