You sound very excited about telling us nothing of what it is you do or make.

That's fair, and we deserve the criticism since we're still kinda stealth, in the sense that we're not publicly talking about what we're doing.

In person we've always been happy to give a full demo and share everything we know about our company. We've shown our product to a lot of people and nobody has left disappointed (and many told me they expected to be).

How can anyone be expected to be excited about your stealthy product then? Why bother posting? Why not just email people who look good on the "Who's looking for work" thread?

Fair question. We post simply because posting on this thread works.

It's worked great for us in the past (and made a hire) and we've been getting great candidates who are excited this time too. :)

The list of what they are NOT into does imply somewhat that they're doing real engineering. Unfortunately, these days, that is rare, so that makes them interesting.
