Ask HN: Any felons successfully found IT work post-release?

>>public+(OP)
There used to be a YC startup dedicated to this, which unfortunately no longer exists. I don't know the backstory on that, but I do remember that there was quite a large Launch HN thread:

Launch HN: 70MillionJobs (YC S17) – Job board for people with criminal records - >>14911467 - Aug 2017 (506 comments)

I link it here in case there might still be useful information or tips in those comments. If there are other related threads, we can list them here too.

Edit: also this (via jph's comment below):

Tell HN: I'm Afraid We're Shutting Down - >>31598978 - June 2022 (353 comments)
