How did this article provide great insight? He gave no data points what so ever. I can't even say he gave anecdotal evidence as all that was presented was a point of view, one that wasn't backed up by anything substantial.
As a developer myself I am offended that the author thinks all developers just want to work on developer tools and sites. That is so sad it is beyond laughable. Most competent developers I know want to work on interesting problems with other quality people in an environment where they are respected. What industry they are in is of no concern.
All new companies have a hard time finding top talent. Once their name gets out that they have a great culture for developers then they will be flooded with applications.
- tadruj 15y agoIt takes all sorts of people to make this world :) Since this is start-up news site I'd think we're more hot-blooded and non-corporate coders who might appear incompetent to you, but we make stuff happen in days instead of weeks and we like to make tools and sites. Me being a co-founder of a start-up too, any insight on hiring that gives us a better chance to get good coders is worth a post on HN :)
