We're one of the companies that will hire people through the YCommonApp, and we don't care if you're on twitter, github, stackoverflow, have a blog or a website, and whether you've played with RoR, Django, Clojure, or some other flavor of the week technology. Being damn good at what you do is more than enough for us.
- BrandonM 16y agoOK, thanks for the data point. Thanks in large part to the comments of you and others, I went ahead submitted my application. Unfortunately, the only way you could know that I'm damn good at whatever work I'm doing (whether that be serving, bartending, tutoring, valet parking, programming, or working in a steel mill) is to accept my word and give me some work to do. :)
- alttab 16y agoCompanies that require those things do so because they aren't themselves able to spot talent. Would you want to work for those people?
