I just took a look at your http://www.rethinkdb.com/jobs/ page and saw that you guys have open salaries. What type of feedback have you received from doing that? Are people resistant to it? Do they come around eventually?

Wow, nice work. I think $3 is way too cheap, especially compared to piano lessons. I'd easily pay $50 (I'm an Android user though).

That is definitely a possibility. We're coping with it for this first event by targeting companies that aren't cherry picking skill sets; they're willing to give someone time to learn as long as it's a smart developer who gets things done.
