Apparently well reasoned blog posts are worthless too. What does Steve Jobs have to do with people Justin Kan wants to hire? He's famous not for being hired but for starting a company. He also doesn't fill the roles on Exec's hiring page.
- aeflash 14y agoExactly. Reminds me of that classic C&H strip. "You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid? Well mine are even worse!" Being a college dropout doesn't necessarily mean they'll be a good hire, just like having a degree doesn't necessarily mean they'll be a good hire.
- TillE 14y agoThat's another thing that amuses me about all these companies looking for superstar developers. A fairly large fraction of them will be far more interested in doing their own thing than working for you.
- benatkin 14y agoYes, but trendy startups often convince superstar developers that it's just like doing their own thing. It might be. Personally I'm more interested in open source than I am on working on someone else's startup.
