It takes all sorts of people to make this world :) Since this is start-up news site I'd think we're more hot-blooded and non-corporate coders who might appear incompetent to you, but we make stuff happen in days instead of weeks and we like to make tools and sites.

Me being a co-founder of a start-up too, any insight on hiring that gives us a better chance to get good coders is worth a post on HN :)
