Why not? If they can get someone who knows C#, more power for them. The faster for the new guy to adapt with the code given he/she knew Java/C#. Java is a language close to C#. I still don't understand your objection.
Product Managers and QA? Why not? Who will test the product? uh-huh, it's the QA.
It's not like your ruby/php/python code can be tested just by a simple unit test. It's not like your desktop app not need to be tested (UI wise).
- staunch 19y agoThere's a difference between hiring someone who is a C#/Java programmer and someone who can program in C#/Java. That's my point. As for Product Managers and QA people. They have a tendency to slow development down to a level they can manage and test. I avoid them both like the plague.
- Tichy 19y agoUm, what's so bad about being a Java/C# programmer? Is the hubris of the scripting crowd really that sky-high?
- staunch 19y agoNot sure. I didn't say anything was bad about being one. I don't speak for any crowds either.
- Tichy 19y agoSo what exactly was the point you were trying to make?

- hello_moto 19y agoThey might slow the development down but to what advantage? Better design docs, better func spec, better docs, better quality. If your startup has a room to grow, this is one option to go. You don't just hire all developers and hope your software doesn't have bugs. Cowboy code a.l.a Agile (the bad Agile) is very dangerous and this is what some people warn these young startup people. The whole RoR (or Python/PHP, whatever) + Agile is like playing with fire; if you know how to stop it, you're in a great shape, if you don't, it'll burn your product faster than any other mistakes.
