Thanks for the pointer!
alexzoltano··on My experience posting on the “Who Wants to be Hired” thread on HN
Good to hear. That would be an interesting experiment too -- add a very unique email address and see if or when spam appears.

alexzoltano··on Ask HN: Is it okay to resign in six months?
People hate surprises. Talk with your manager to give them a heads up before you accept the new offer and officially resign.

Having an open conversation with your manager will help build or preserve the trust in the relationship in part because you are including them in the decision that you'll be making.

Your manager cares a lot about you and your career. They will probably be supportive and it gives them an opportunity to provide feedback, will give you opportunity to share your appreciation too.

What does the team do? We’re building significant new features and products using modern technologies while still modernizing our existing codebase. Lots of opportunities to learn new technologies, evangelize them to the broader team (not just developers but sometimes to designers, content writers, and marketing), set best practices, and establish the foundation for the front-end of all sites. Experimentation is highly encouraged.

Recent projects include putting PayScale.com on Amazon CloudFront, incorporating React into the build tools, building a pilot for a new product, and organizing a hack day with our friends at Chef. We use React, ES6, gulp, Bootstrap, Less, Webpack, Babel, ESlint, node, npm, mocha, etc., in addition to C#, IIS, ASP.NET, and Amazon Web Services. We write unit tests. We're working on the mobile strategy and exploring React Native for mobile development.

Consider using http://www.PayScale.com to find out what you should be paid. You can put in details about your specific job (skills, education, city, title, etc) and it will give you an accurate range of what the market is paying.

Note I work at PayScale BUT this is exactly one of the types of problems we're solving.
