> Why don't you find people working on a problem you like, then ask them if they have open positions?

That's not always straight forward. Once you get patched over to HR, it's their process.

I am glad to hear that this is still working for you, hopefully a serendipitous moment will occur soon to open a door for me as well.

> Working though engineers is almost always better than filtering though company recruiters.

Doesn't this say something about hiring being broken when you have to dig through profiles on a company website or linkedin and cold contact devs to get your foot in the door?

I am by no means suggesting that what you are saying is a bad idea, just that this reeks of poor and inefficient hiring policies.
