		I saw this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13285995 and this comment: "Now, for the first time in 16 years I find myself looking for a job in SV without a direct reference" What is a direct refernce?

He simply means a connection within a company he is looking to apply. He's applying to companies without having someone within the company referring him.
