I started programming in late 2004 but I've only had three years of work experience at startups consisting of the CEO, myself, and maybe another person or two occasionally brought on to do this-or-that (though at my second job I got to work with a small open source community too). Chunks of my work were part-time because I was finishing my degree concurrently. At this point in my life I still feel like I ought to be performing a breadth-first search of areas I want to work more in. Therefore I'm not too picky about what I'm working on, so long as I can see the actual or potential business value, and my main criteria is how nice for me personally it would be to work on X. I think languages matter. I'd love to work at a Clojure shop. I'm not as experienced with it as I'd like to be, but the philosophy of the language resonates with me and I'd like to go deeper into it. I still tend to think in Python though and it's my go-to tool for most things, so I'd also enjoy working at a Python shop. I've done enough of the other languages listed to work with them and be happy about it, but they're not my favorites. (I do like C a lot more than C++. I'd like to learn Rust as well.) I'm part of the hacker news majority that uses vim, and I prefer a (Gentoo or Mint) Linux workstation but can still be productive on Windows 7, provided Cygwin and gVim are installed. I have health insurance through my father's company for a few more years, so if you're looking to save some employee expenses on that front I might be a good choice. ;)
