A couple of years ago a London based start-up came to me asking for help finding a Cappuccino/Objective J developer. I pride myself at being able to find needles in haystacks but finding a dedicated Cappuccino dev in London was proving impossible. During a moment of desperation I fired a very simple email to Randy asking for suggestions and I got a reply within 24 hours with a few names suggested from the Cappuccino community who were UK based and a couple of suggestions on what sort of developer would find the transition to Objective J easier than others.
Randy's passion for Cappuccino was blatant and his excitement at seeing the framework expand in the UK was admirable. The fact that someone so passionate has become so frustrated is a shame.
Best of luck at Google Randy and thanks for taking time out to help a stranger.
- danielweber 14y agoThe fact that the employer needed someone with prior Cappuccino experience is the bigger problem. There are a huge number of frameworks out there. Pick one, and then hire people and have them spend a few days learning it. Adding more and more frameworks leads to, well, relevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/927/ http://xkcd.com/927/
