- User mentions Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, or developer forums as lead sources

- User wants to find developers who built DIY/hacky solutions for problems the user's product solves
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with `requests` and optionally `python-dotenv`

- No auth needed for Hacker News (free Algolia API)
- Working directory: the project root containing this skill
