The blog post is content-free, so instead of wasting thirty seconds reading it, I'd suggest HN members for whom the title is interesting instead grab a copy of Arnold Bennett's _How to Live on 24 Hours a Day_. Written in 1910, it is one of

I think you underestimate the cultural requirement for remote work, which any company not founded by UNIX geeks who grew up on IRC won't have. We're not that company. We've been around for fifteen years, and the doctors, writers, artists

Last I heard, we had multiple openings. They try to roll them up into single postings, perhaps this is the "most important" one they're looking for. Feel free to send me your details and I'll ask on Monday.

I'll be happy to call cousin_it a sexist boy. Statistically, he probably is. And worse, he probably thinks he's too smart to be sexist, and hangs out with mostly males who also feel that way, so their sexism goes uncorrected. To be clear,
