We realize that. I was an employee not too long ago. Every few years I would jump to a new exciting and challenging job. It allowed me to build out a solid skill set enough to start my own company.
I want to hire people that have genuine passion for what they do. If they're passionate about my company, that's just icing on the cake.
I expect that they'll move on. I want it to be on good terms.
True engineers will always want to learn more. My goal is to provide an environment for a massive amount of learning.
- euroclydon 16y agoMy goal is to provide an environment for a massive amount of learning. It seems that the only way you can do that is to solve really hard problems, otherwise learning just becomes some academic exercise, unrelated to your core mission.
- jreposa 16y agoI don't agree. Not every developer is an super genius who only solves problems using incredible feats of intelligence. I learn something new everyday. For a learning experience we launched a new site using only HTML5. That was a fun learning experience, but it wasn't a really hard problem. And yes, it is part of our core mission. Another example is how our company is always looking at new technologies. The concepts can be challenging and fun to learn for a developer. A couple of the more recent ones we've used are MongoDB, Node.js, PhoneGap... I'm sure there's more. Oh, right... we're building our first Rails 3 site. Now that's fun!
